The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association is backing Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ efforts to stop the resurgence of New World Screwworm.
The group is working with the USDA to boost surveillance and expand the sterile insect technique. They are also putting pressure on Mexican officials to follow through on their Screwworm eradication promises.
NCBA says Mexico has failed to uphold its end of the agreement by disrupting planes carrying sterile male flies. NCBA says it will continue working with U.S. and Mexican officials to push for stronger action to protect cattle herds and prevent a costly outbreak.
