Oklahoma Department of Agriculture takes steps to prevent spread of Screwworm
OKLAHOMA CITY (KSWO) – The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture is taking proactive steps to prevent the spread of New World Screwworm into Oklahoma.
The Department issued new animal movement restrictions today.
Anyone transporting livestock into Oklahoma from an “infested zone” must get a permit from the State Veterinarians Office.
They must also have a CVI that states the animals have all been individually inspected and found free of the worm.
The Department says no confirmed cases of Screwworm have been reported in Oklahoma but they are working with the USDA to monitor the pest’s spread.
