It is required that all Cervidae herds in Florida have a Cervidae Herd Health Plan. The Cervidae Herd Health Plan is a written herd management agreement between FDACS and the herd owner. This plan is based upon a thorough epidemiological investigation and risk assessment of the herd and their facility. This plan analyzes the risk of continued disease transmission by clinical and subclinical animals and/or environmental contamination. This plan sets out specific actions to be followed to monitor or survey the herd for specific disease(s) or eradicate specific disease(s) from the herd.
