[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1376871, member: 12607"] True, pdfangus. Seedstock producers consigning to some sales must have a negative serologic test result. Infected animals can be fed a much higher level of CTC for at least 60 days, which will result in 'clearance' of the infection for most of those animals... and titers will drop to zero in 3-6 months. However, that's a double-edged sword, if you will.... not all animals will 'clear' and could continue to serve as a source of infection within the herd, and those that do 'clear' are susceptible to reinfection - even with the same strain they had previously - and are now at risk of developing clinical disease and potentially dying. I'm not certain that I could ever recommend 'feeding for clearance' to a commercial producer, and it may not be suitable for most seedstock producers - except for those animals that are required to have a negative serologic test for a sale.
