Ways tuberculosis may be introduced
The United States Department of Agriculture warns that tuberculosis can enter a healthy herd through several routes. Infection may come from purchasing diseased animals or herds under tuberculosis quarantine, feeding calves with milk from tuberculous cows, showing cattle at fairs, purchasing milk from mixed sources, shipping diseased cattle without proper disinfection, and grazing on contaminated pastures. Disease can develop slowly, with symptoms appearing months later, so herd testing is advised.
