What is the status of the CWD surveillance testing in N.H.?

0

New Hampshire’s deer population shows no evidence of chronic wasting disease (CWD), based on monitoring data gathered during hunting seasons from 2003 to 2007. Fish and Game Deer Biologist Kent Gustafson noted that a federally certified veterinary diagnostic laboratory has indicated that all the deer brain samples taken during the 2003-2007 hunting seasons tested negative for CWD. During the fall 2003 deer hunting season, for example, Fish and Game collected heads from hunter-killed deer across the state for testing; a total of 388 deer heads were sampled. The monitoring is part of a nationwide effort to identify areas with CWD.
