Free NWS Inspector Training for Texas Livestock Rolled Out
· Texas Border Business
Governor Greg Abbott has introduced a free online training course aimed at increasing the number of certified New World Screwworm (NWS) inspectors in Texas. This initiative, developed in collaboration with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, USDA-APHIS, and other agencies, is essential for maintaining the safety and movement of livestock. The course covers NWS biology, inspection protocols, and certification processes. Eligible participants include licensed veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and various state inspectors. By completing the course and passing the exam, individuals can become certified inspectors authorized to issue movement certificates for livestock. The program is part of Texas's broader strategy to combat NWS effectively.
