Bovine Tuberculosis (TB) Testing in White-tailed Deer

All deer hunters who harvest a deer in GHAs 13A, 18, 18A, 18B, 18C, 23 and 23A, are required to submit the complete head, upper neck, lungs and trachea (windpipe), to a biological sample station or nearest Manitoba Conservation Office within 48 hours from the time of kill. These samples cannot be frozen. More detail is available on this web site.

More information on bovine TB is available in the Wildlife and Ecosystem Protection Branch web site.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Surveillance in White-tailed Deer

Manitoba Conservation remains vigilant in ensuring the province’s wild elk and deer populations remain free of Chronic Wasting Disease. Manitoba Conservation will continue monitoring efforts for this disease by testing selected elk and deer samples submitted under the Bovine TB Surveillance Program.
