State experts to provide update on bovine TB, deer harvest reporting, feral swine on Oct. 7

Join us for the next Herd & Hunter: Bovine TB Connections meeting to learn more about bovine tuberculosis, deer harvest reporting changes and feral swine in Michigan.

The public is welcome to attend the meeting either virtually or in person at the Ossineke Township Hall in Alpena County from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 7. To ensure you have the latest information on bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in Michigan, the meeting will include updates from the following speakers:


* Dr. Mike VanderKlok, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, will give updates on the cattle bTB program following a new agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
* Emily Sewell, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, will discuss deer harvest reporting changes and reminders.

In addition to these updates, the meeting will feature a presentation on feral swine in Michigan by Jake Nave, a USDA wildlife biologist who works with invasive species across the state. Feral swine have the potential to cause significant agricultural and ecological damage and can also transmit a number of diseases. Jake will share information on where feral swine have been detected in Michigan, efforts to eradicate them and their current status.
