| Scrapie Canada Updates
December 2005
New Deadline Information:
Although producer interest was gauged
to be high, only 10 producers were enrolled in the
project by December 2005. Not all provinces
met the allotted quota for interested producers and
the project is now accepting names from all interested
producers regardless of province.
In order to collect meaningful information
and to meet progress requirements set out by the funding
agency, producers need to be enrolled in the program
for as close to the duration of the five-year project
as possible.
Therefore, beginning December
1, 2005, project samples will be filled on a 'first
to apply- first to be enrolled' basis regardless of
producer province.
It is very important that spaces
on this project are filled, not only to create worthwhile
data, but also to send a clear message that scrapie
control is considered an important issues within the
sheep and goat industries.
