Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that is close to being eradicated in the United States, but still poses a significant risk to domestic livestock, wildlife, companion animals and humans throughout the world.
The Michigan Bovine TB Eradication Project involves a multi-agency team of experts from the Michigan Departments of Agriculture (MDA), Natural Resources (DNR) and Community Health (DCH); Michigan State University (MSU) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
This website is a joint project between agencies. The goal is to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information on bovine tuberculosis. Each organization has a unique role in the Michigan Bovine TB Eradication Project with specific missions and resources. Contributions to this web site are made by each partner and reflect the partner's areas of expertise and involvement.
The Michigan Department of Community Health bovine TB eradication coordinator spearheads the eradication activities of each department, keeps the agencies informed and up-to-date and is the primary contact for the media. The TB Eradication Project office is located in the Capitol View Building, in Lansing.
