Subject:
Importation of Bovines (Cattle or Bison) from Canada for Feeding
To:
Feedlot Owners and Operators and Other Interested Parties
The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) published a
final rule on January 4, 2005, entitled “Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy; Minimal-Risk Regions and
Importation of Commodities.” As a result of this publication,
regulations are now in place to allow for the importation of
bovines from Canada for feeding. Bovines must be less than 30
months of age when imported and when sent to slaughter. This rule
is effective immediately.
There
are now specific post entry requirements on the movement of these
animals from the Port of Entry (POE). If you intend to import
feeder bovines from Canada, you must comply with the following
conditions:
-
All
bovines imported from Canada will be individually identified
by an official Canadian eartag, applied before the bovine’s
arrival at the United States POE. This eartag cannot be
removed. You cannot alter, deface, remove, or otherwise tamper
with the individual identification while the animal is at your
feedlot. The bovines must also be marked with a C ΛN
brand on the right hip.
Shipments
of bovines must move directly from the POE to the feedlot.
When the shipment of animals arrives at the feedlot from the
POE, the vehicle will be sealed by official government seals
of Canada, or official seals of the United States [applied at
the POE by either APHIS or U.S. Customs and Border
Protection]. The shipment will be accompanied by VS Form
17-130 “Ruminants Imported to Designated/Approved
Feedlots.” This form identifies the physical location of the
feedlot, and the individual responsible for the movement of
the animals. This form is issued at the POE. A copy of the
official Canadian Health certificate will also accompany the
shipment.
The
official seals on the vehicle can be broken by a State or U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) representative, an accredited
veterinarian, or his/her designee (i.e., an employee of the
accredited veterinarian). The individual that breaks the seal
must complete #13 to #18 of the VS Form 17-130 and return it
to the POE within 14 days of receipt of the shipment. The
appropriate return address is included on the form.
The
bovines must remain at the feedlot that was identified on the
VS Form 17-130. They cannot be sent to any other
location except to slaughter.
