A farmed white-tail deer from Osceola County has been infected with chronic wasting disease, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said in a news release.
“Limiting the spread and impact of CWD on Michigan’s farmed cervid herds hinges on the ability to detect the disease early and respond promptly,” state veterinarian Dr. Nora Wineland said in a news release.
The 7-year-old deer was detected through the state’s CED surveillance program, officials said.
