Compost is decaying plant and/or animal matter broken down by fungi and/or bacteria and is high in fulvic acids and nutrients. When compost is fully decomposed it becomes humus. Rich soil is made up of sand, silt, clay and organic matter (compost) in various stages of decomposition.
This document establishes a recommended minimum standard for. testing and a uniform process of disease risk assessment to helpprevent the spread of. cervid diseases such as chronic wasting disease (CWD), bovine tuberculosis (TB), and. brucellosis when wild cervids are captured for interstate movement and release.
Within each risk area, rough population estimates of cervids (mule deer, white-tailed deer, and elk obtained from the Departmentâs survey data) were used in an epidemiological model to calculate a desired sample size that would allow for the detection of a 1% prevalence of CWD at a 95% confidence interval.
