Welcome to the Farmed Cervid Biosecurity against Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) website.

Our mission is to provide information to cervid producers to:

  1. Better understand their operation’s risk of becoming infected with CWD and 
  2. Help them develop a biosecurity plan to reduce the risk of CWD in their farmed cervids.
