The Minnesota Board of Animal Health confirms the state’s first anthrax case in animals in more than a decade in Kittson County, affecting multiple cattle and a horse, and has quarantined the affected property.
Anthrax is caused by a spore-forming bacterium which can emerge in greater concentrations after rainstorms, flooding, or excavation. The disease has been concentrated in northwest Minnesota in the past.
Anthrax was last confirmed in June 2013 in a Pennington County cow.
The Board recommends producers keep their livestock up to date on anthrax vaccinations.
Anthrax in animals is not a risk to the public.
