k markets and stockyards) was initiated in all high incidence states. this provided for the identification of reactor and exposed animals before they were moved to other herds or areas. it also allowed for more accurate identification of these animals back to the farms of origin, resulting in more efficient and accurate epidemiology of affected herds. once infection was found, the herd was tested and positive animals were removed. additional tests were conducted every 30–180 days until the herd was negative. depopulation of affected herds was also adopted in the mid-1970s as an additional management option that provided a solution for intractable and heavily affected herds. depopulation has been especially important in the last several years, as the number of affected herds has decreased rapidly. in addition, wide area testing in the vicinity of affected herds was instituted. this was in conjunction with increased testing of herds adjacent to affected …
