Minister Strahl Announces Fewer Import Controls on Cattle, Sheep and Goats | CFIA Press Release
Effective immediately, U.S. cattle can enter Canada without any bluetongue-related import requirements.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is also reducing testing requirements for anaplasmosis, based on enhancements to diagnostic tests. Neither of these diseases poses a risk to human health. In addition, sheep, goats and other small ruminants, which were previously banned from entering Canada, will be able to be imported for breeding purposes under certain conditions.
