Text of Regulation Link to Virginia Administrative Code
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.
