British Columbia cattle producers are once again able to ship to the United States without having to test their animals for brucellosis.The restrictions had been put in place after three beef cows originating from two B.C. farms were suspected of having brucellosis, based on U.S. Department of Agriculture tests at slaughter.Subsequent tests by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency proved the ranches and the animals did not have brucellosis.As of June 17, sexually intact cattle and bison that have lived in B.C. since March 25 were no longer required to test negative for brucellosis before being exported to the U.S.Canada was declared free of the disease in 1985.
