Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) surveillance in farmed cervids

This dataset contains statistical data of on-farm mortality and slaughter surveillance the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs collects as part of the voluntary CWD surveillance program of farmed cervids (deer and elk) within Ontario.

CWD has emerged as the most important disease to affect both wild and farmed cervid populations in North America.

This dataset is no longer collected or maintained. Information and data held by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs for this record is historical.
