NATIONAL CATTLE HEALTH DECLARATION EXPLANATORY NOTES
OVERVIEW
The Cale Health Declaraon is a legal document. Please complete accurately before
signing.
Cale Heath Declaraons are a way for producers to provide informaon about the
health status of the cale they are selling. Buyers should ask vendors for a Declaraon
and use the informaon provided to determine the health risks associated with the
animals on oer.
Some states/territories require tesng or cercaon addional to that outlined in
this document e.g. Johne’s disease (JD) in WA and for Enzooc Bovine Leucosis (EBL) in
Tasmania. Please check the entry requirements for any interstate movements at:
www.animalhealthaustralia.com.au/what-we-do/endemic-disease/livestock-
movements
The original of this form is to be aached to the Naonal Vendor Declaraon (NVD)
form accompanying the cale, if applicable. A duplicate remains with the vendor; it is
recommended the vendor retains a copy of this declaraon for seven (7) years.
TREATMENTS & VACCINATIONS
Provide details on any cale treatments in the last six (6) months and vaccinaons
within the last twelve (12) months.
Some manufacturers include more than one of the categories listed in the same
vaccine, known as a combinaon vaccine. If you use a combinaon vaccine, each
agent(s), as appropriate, should be detailed.
For vaccinaons to be current, you must have followed the manufacturer’s
recommendaon for vaccinaon. Typically, young animals or rst me vaccinated
animals need two (2) doses, followed by annual boosters. As variaons to this general
rule do occur (e.g. Silirum is given once only), you must use the manufacturer’s
recommendaons.
At the date the declaraon is made and as a result of the vaccinaon(s) given, the
animals are considered protected from the diseases marked as treated.
QUESTION 3: PESTIVIRUS TESTING
Persistently infected animals can be detected by conducng a pesvirus angen test.
This test only needs to be conducted once in an animal’s life. Cale that test posive in
most cases are persistently infected animals. Pesvirus anbody tesng may be done to
check the pesvirus status of the herd. Contact your veterinarian for assistance.
QUESTIONS 4, 5 & 6: JOHNE’S DISEASE BEEF CATTLE
Note: JD is a noable disease, so it is important to answer these quesons.
Occurrence of JD refers to clinical disease in the herd or on the property(s). Clinical
disease is an infected animal with chronic diarrhoea and weight-loss that does not
respond to treatment.
The Johne’s Beef Assurance Score (J-BAS) is a voluntary tool developed for JD risk
proling. Details are available at www.animalhealthaustralia.com.au/jd-cale-tools.
The J-BAS is an inial guide and purchasers should ask for more informaon about JD in
the origin herd (see the JD in Cale Biosecurity Checklist on the ‘JD in cale’ webpage).
The Naonal Farm Biosecurity Reference Manual - Grazing Livestock Producon
provides a template to use for the property biosecurity plan. All plans should include
the JD in Cale Biosecurity Plan Checklist.
Check test – tesng of 50 adult animals in the herd (or all eligible animals in a herd
if less than 50 adult animals) biased to increase the probability of detecng infecon,
tested by (pooled) faecal culture or (pooled) HT-J faecal PCR. An ELISA test is available
but is not recommended and also not accepted for entry of cale to WA.
Sample test – screening of the adult herd or a large representave sample of the
adult herd by an approved test (pooled) faecal culture or (pooled) HT-J faecal PCR. See
note above for ELISA test.
Grazing of non-bovine species – Buyers of cale from this consignment may
consider the grazing of other JD-suscepble species (sheep, goats, alpacas) on the
source property as important to their risk-management decisions. These buyers are
entled to seek informaon on how you have managed disease risks for all your
livestock.
