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.
Brucellosis is a reportable disease in Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) veterinarians require the testing of reindeer prior to importation into Canada and 2 years thereafter for all cervid herds. The major impacts of brucellosis in reindeer are abortion and sterility.
