Goals of Regulation |
1. The protection of the public's health, safety, and welfare with the least possible cost and intrusiveness to the citizens and businesses of the Commonwealth.
2. The prevention of the re-introduction of the economically-devastating disease of brucellosis into Virginia cattle herds.
3. The easing of the burden of interstate shipping restrictions on Virginia cattle producers by maintaining brucellosis-free certified status. Cattle coming from brucellosis-infected herds or states are required to be tested negative to brucellosis before they are accepted by the importing state.
