INTRODUCTION - Program Summary
At the end of FY 2014, the percent of cull black face sheep found positive at slaughter was 0.02 percent (Chart 1). This measure decreased by 51 percent compared to FY 2013 and 98 percent compared to FY 2003.
Eight source flocks (including 2 goat herds) and 3 infected flocks were designated in FY 2013. Three source flocks and 3 infected flocks were designated in FY 2014 (Chart 2), a decrease of 45 percent. Two source flocks have been designated in FY 2015.
At the end of FY 2014, the percent of cull sheep found positive at slaughter and adjusted for face color* was 0.019 percent (Chart 3). This measure increased by 31 percent compared to FY 2013 and decreased 87 percent compared to FY 2003.
In November 2014, the first positive goat found through RSSS. Chart 3a was added to the December 2014 report to show the percent positive goats at slaughter since 2011 .
* See slide 4 for an explanation of adjusted weights.
Introduction - Program Summary
INTRODUCTION - Surveillance (Part 1)
Regulatory Scrapie Slaughter Surveillance (RSSS)
RSSS started April 1, 2003. It is a targeted slaughter surveillance program which is designed to identify infected flocks. Samples have been collected from 451,240 animals since April 1, 2003. There have been 476 NVSL confirmed positive animals* (468 classical cases and 8 Nor98-like cases) since the beginning of RSSS. As of December 31, 2014, 7,502 samples have been collected in FY 2015, 6,010 from sheep and 1,492 from goats.
As of December 31, 2014, 1 black-faced sheep and 1 goat have has tested positive for scrapie; this is the first positive goat case found through RSSS. The weighted percentage of samples from sheep that have tested positive for each face color from FY 2003 through FY 2015 is depicted in Chart 3; percent positive goats are shown in Chart 3a. In November 2013, administrative units within APHIS Veterinary Services reorganized from 2 Regions to 6 Districts (Figure 1). The distribution of sheep and goat populations by District is depicted in Chart 4a. The number of animals collected for FY 2015 by District where collected is shown in Chart 4b. A monthly comparison of RSSS collections by fiscal year is displayed in Chart 5. Chart 6 is a retrospective 6-month rolling average of the percent positive, black-faced sheep sampled at RSSS collection sites.
* RSSS positives are reported based on collection date and may have been confirmed after December 31, 2014.** White, black and mottled face color sheep are weighted based on population. White faced sheep have the highest weight, so when
the uncommon white face positive sheep is found it will cause this statistic to increase. Goats and other face colored sheep are not included in this calculation.

INTRODUCTION - Surveillance (Part 2)
On-Farm Surveillance
Testing sheep and goats on-farm is an essential part of scrapie surveillance. It includes both regulatory testing of scrapie exposed and potentially exposed sheep and goats and testing sheep and goats on farm for routine surveillance. As the National Scrapie Eradication Program moves closer towards meeting the goal of identifying the last remaining cases of classical scrapie, finding and testing all sheep and goats meeting targeted sampling criteria is even more important.
As of December 31, 2014, 217 sheep and 105 goats have been tested on-farm for FY 2015. One clinical suspect sheep and 25 other sheep from the same flock have tested positive. The number of animals tested on-farm by month and by species for FY 2015 is shown in Chart 7.
Total Animals Sampled for Scrapie Testing
As of December 31, 2014, 7,824 animals have been sampled for scrapie testing in FY 2015:• 7,502 RSSS samples and 322 on-farm samples (Chart 8); • Of which 6,227 were sheep and 1,597 were goats.
Distribution of sampling by type (RSSS or on-farm) and by species is shown in Chart 9.
Introduction – Surveillance (Part 2)
INTRODUCTION - Surveillance (Part 3)
State Sampling Minimums
The National Scrapie Eradication Program establishes annual sheep sampling minimums for each State, and tracks the States’ level of compliance with meeting these minimums. These State minimums were implemented in FY 2010 to ensure adequate geographical representation, so that APHIS can find the last remaining cases and document freedom from scrapie. State sampling minimums are established based on the population demographics of mature sheep in each State. Since FY 2011, the program has also proposed annual State sampling minimums for goats. The calculations used to derive the sampling minimums are described in the National Scrapie Surveillance Plan
The State sampling minimums for sheep and goats, and the total number of animals sampled by State of Animal ID, are listed in in the following slides:

INTRODUCTION - Positive Cases and Infected/Source Flocks
Positive Scrapie Cases*
Through On-Farm surveillance, one clinical suspect sheep tested positive for scrapie in November. (Table 7 and Figure 2). The flock of origin was designated as a source flock. Since the designation, 25 additional sheep from the flock have tested positive for scrapie.
The first RSSS positive goat was reported in November 2014. This case increases the number of confirmed positive cases in goats since FY 2002 to 40 (Table 7 and Figure 3).
Infected and Source Flocks
As of December 31, 2014, there were 5 flocks with an open source status (Figure 4). Two new source flocks have been designated in FY 2015. (Figure 5) and one flock was released (Figure 6).New infected and source statuses from FY 1997 to FY 2015 are depicted in Chart 2.
* Samples collected between October 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and confirmed by January 15, 2014.
Cases and New Infected/Source Flocks
INTRODUCTION - Scrapie Flock Certification Program (SFCP)
As of December 31, 2014, there were 452 flocks participating in the Scrapie Flock Certification Program (SFCP). Statuses of these flocks were 176 export monitored, 18 export certified, and 258 select monitored flocks (Figure 6). SFCP open statuses by fiscal year from FY 2007 to FY 2015 are depicted in Chart 10.
The current status of participating flocks is available to the public on the SFCP Web Page.1
The current version of the SFCP standards was published June 20, 2013. A copy of the standards can be downloaded from APHIS’ SFCP Web Page.
1 Note: Flocks that have “Certified” status on the SFCP Web Page are not listed in this report because it is a transitional status concurrent with their Export Monitored status.
This report is based on information and test results available at the time of report generation. Numbers are subject to change due to later reporting of test results and updates in the database.
