AL. 2020) CAN IDENTIFY DEER THAT ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO CWD SO THEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM A HERD REDUCING CWD PREVALENCE IN POSITIVE HERDS AND REDUCING OR ELIMINATING THE INTRODUCTION OF CWD INTO OTHER HERDS OR SPREADING TO WILD DEER ACROSS THE FENCE LINE. THIS APPROACH PROVIDES STATES AN OPTION OTHER THAN WHOLE HERD DEPOPULATION TO HELP MANAGE THE INCIDENCE OF CWD IN FARMED DEER.

FARM AND RANCH LANDS PROTECTION PROGRAM

THE PURPOSE OF THIS AWARD IS TO FUND THE STATE’S WORK IN SUPPORT OF THE PESTICIDE DATA PROGRAM (PDP). THE STATE WILL COLLECT FOOD SAMPLES IN THEIR STATE AND SHIP THE SAMPLES TO THE ASSIGNED LABORATORIES PER THE ESTABLISHED SCHEDULE. THE FOODS, WHICH FOCUS ON THOSE MOST FREQUENTLY CONSUMED BY INFANTS AND CHILDREN, ARE SPECIFIED IN THE CURRENT PDP PROJECT PLAN THAT IS POSTED ON THE PDP WEBSITE. THE STATE LABORATORY WILL PERFORM CHEMICAL ANALYSES ON THE ASSIGNED SAMPLES FOR PESTICIDE RESIDUES, INCLUDING PARENT COMPOUNDS AND METABOLITES. THE RESULTS OF THE RESIDUE ANALYSIS WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE STATE QUALITY ASSURANCE OFFICER AND SENT TO PDP AS AN ELECTRONIC DATASET. ALL WORK WILL BE CONDUCTED ACCORDING TO STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE PDP WEBSITE. THE DELIVERABLE OF THE SAMPLING OPERATION IS TO PROVIDE THE REQUESTED SAMPLES TO THE LABORATORIES, AND THE DELIVERABLE OF THE LABORATORY IS TO PROVIDE THE PESTICIDE RESIDUE DATA TO PDP. THE INTENDED BENEFICIARIES INCLUDE THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, WHO USES THE DATA TO PREPARE DIETARY RISK ASSESSMENTS FOR PESTICIDES; THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION WHO USES THE ROUTINE MONITORING DATA FROM PDP TO INFORM THEIR REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT OF ESTABLISHED LIMITS OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD; THE USDA FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL SERVICE WHO MAY USE THE DATA IN TRADE NEGOTIATIONS; AND AMERICAN CONSUMERS WHO USE THE DATA TO HELP ENSURE THEIR CONFIDENCE IN THE FOOD THEY PURCHASE FOR THEIR FAMILIES.

WHOLE‐HERD AND EXPOSED ANIMAL DEPOPULATION AND POST‐MORTEM TESTING OF ALL DEPOPULATED CERVIDS IS OFTEN THE PREFERRED RESPONSE TO CONTROL THE SPREAD OF CWD WITHIN AND FROM CWDPOSITIVE HERDS. CARCASSES FROM CWD‐POSITIVE HERDS AND EXPOSED ANIMALS WILL BE DISPOSED OF IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS. BECAUSE PRIONS ARE HIGHLY PERSISTENT AND CAN REMAIN A SOURCE OF CWD EXPOSURE, IT IS PRUDENT TO ATTEMPT TO DECONTAMINATE OBJECTS AND EQUIPMENT THAT MAY HAVE BECOME CONTAMINATED. THE RECOMMENDED DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN APPENDIX IV OF THE CWD PROGRAM STANDARDS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED FOLLOWING THE DEPOPULATION OF THE HERD TO REDUCE THE OVERALL CWD BURDEN ON OBJECTS AND EQUIPMENT ON THE PREMISES. THE COLLECTION OF RESEARCH SAMPLES FOR THE VS ARCHIVE AND VS COLLABORATORS PROVIDES IMPORTANT SAMPLES THAT ARE USED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF DETECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTS, GENETICS, AND OTHER RESEARCH.

BY BUILDING ON OUR PREVIOUS PROJECT AND ADDING INCENTIVE PAYMENTS, THIS PROJECT PROVIDES A HERD MANAGEMENT OPTION FOR PARTICIPATING FARMED CERVID HERDS TO LESSEN HERD SUSCEPTIBILITY TO CWD. OWNERS WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO REPLACE CULLED HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE ANIMALS FROM THEIR HERDS OR TO BREED SUSCEPTIBLE YET HIGHLY VALUABLE DEER TO DEER WITH GEBV SCORES LESS THAN -0.056. THIS OPTION REMOVES DEER THAT ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO CWD AS IDENTIFIED VIA THEIR PREDICTIVE GENETICS GEBV SCORE, BUT ALSO OFFERS PRODUCERS AN OPTION TO IMPROVE THE GENETICS OF VALUABLE BUT MORE SUSCEPTIBLE LINES THROUGH SELECTIVE BREEDING. WHOLE GENOME PREDICTIVE GENETICS (1-8) CAN IDENTIFY DEER THAT ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO CWD SO THEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM A HERD REDUCING OR ELIMINATING THE INTRODUCTION OF CWD INTO OTHER HERDS OR SPREADING TO WILD DEER ACROSS THE FENCE LINE.
