States across the country are tightening livestock movement rules as concerns grow over the spread of New World screwworm.<\/p>\n
Federal authorities have confirmed 12 cases of the parasite since June 3rd, with all but one detected in Texas.<\/p>\n
The California Department of Food and Agriculture recently announced that it is beefing up requirements for animals entering California from areas affected by the New World screwworm.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a fly that lays its eggs in open wounds, which could be fatal to livestock and other animals.<\/p>\n
The new California requirements include livestock, poultry and companion animals.<\/p>\n
Animals known or suspected to be infested with NWS may not enter California unless specifically authorized by CDFA.<\/p>\n
All animals entering California under the new requirements will need an entry permit prior to travel and must be inspected upon arrival at the California destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 States across the country are tightening livestock movement rules as concerns grow over the spread of New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8],"class_list":["post-364588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
