Bovine Tuberculosis Found in South Dakota Cattle Herd

By Krystal Miga

The state veterinarian says bovine tuberculosis, or TB, has been confirmed in a cow herd in Kingsbury County.

Dr. Beth Thompson said the infected herd was identified through traceback efforts on a Hamlin County feedlot steer.

Meat inspectors initially discovered the infected steer during routine inspections at a Wisconsin packing plant in late October.

Thompson said they’re working closely with the herd owner, USDA and state Animal Industry Board to trace other infected animals and protect the health of the state’s cattle industry.

Officials said Bovine TB is not currently a threat to food safety in the U.S, due to milk pasteurization and comprehensive meat inspection programs.

Video: Turning Data into Better Decisions: BioCV's Intelligent Monitoring System for Modern Pork Producers

In this exclusive interview, Jens Kjaer, CEO of BioCV Inc., discusses the North American launch of the BioCV Intelligent Sow Monitoring System and how advanced sensor technology and machine learning are changing the way producers manage sow herds. Using smart ear tags that continuously monitor temperature, behavior, and movement, the system provides real-time alerts for heat detection, farrowing, fever, lameness, and other critical health events—often before they become visible to barn staff.

Kjaer explains how the technology helps producers improve breeding efficiency, reduce non-productive days, identify health challenges earlier, and better support sows during farrowing. He also shares how BioCV's predictive analytics can help operations optimize labor, improve piglet survival, reduce sow losses, and enhance overall productivity in today's increasingly data-driven swine industry.

Learn how this innovative technology is giving producers actionable insights on every sow, every day, helping teams move from reactive management to proactive decision-making while improving both animal welfare and profitability. www.biocv.info/lisa-sow
