Texas FFA is working closely with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, state animal health officials, and other industry experts to monitor the situation surrounding the New World Screwworm.
At this time, travel into and out of the state remains permitted, and we have no reason to believe that livestock validations or Texas FFA events will be impacted. Should conditions change, we will communicate any updates and guidance as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, we encourage members, advisors, and families to stay informed and take appropriate precautions to help prevent the spread of New World Screwworm. Please review this resource to learn more about identification, reporting procedures, prevention measures, and ongoing eradication efforts.
