[Jacob-list] scrapie

[Linda]

I found this at:
http://www.shaltzfarm.com/scrapie.html
which has a wealth of information about the various programs

"Although the current federal scrapie program, the Volunteer Scrapie Certification 
Program, places no emphasis on resistant genetics, the proposed program which is 
expected to become law does. For your own copy of the proposed rules, see the snail 
mail address below. A copy is available online in PDF format on the federal scrapie 
site. Be aware that it's 112 pages and takes quite a while to download. Sending for 
a free hard copy might be easier.

To get your own copy of the way the federal scrapie rules will be implemented when 
the time comes, snail mail to:


Dr. Diane Sutton
National Scrapie Program Coordinator
4700 River Road Unit 43
Riverdale, MD 20737-1231

or call 301 734 6954"


I haven't checked out the proposed genetic emphasis program but may get to it later 
today.  Offhand, it sounds like a more useful program.
