Michigan DNR announces field trial for the study of vaccinating deer against bovine tuberculosis
Published: , in Outdoor News
A field study is underway in Alpena County, Mich., to evaluate the delivery of an oral bovine tuberculosis (bTB) vaccine for wild deer.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is collaborating with Michigan State University (MSU) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service-Wildlife Services (USDA-WS) to explore the development of a new, future tool to manage bTB, which could help to further protect wildlife, livestock and the public from this disease.
