   2. (b) The chronic wasting disease certification under sub. (4).

   3. (c) Two individual identifications of the farm-raised deer that meet the requirements under s. ATCP 10.54 (3).

      Note: The certificate of veterinary inspection may also include any auxiliary identification on the farm-raised deer.

3. (3) Tuberculosis certification. A certificate of veterinary inspection under sub. (1) (a) shall certify one of the following:

   1. (a) The farm-raised deer originates from an accredited tuberculosis-free herd under s. ATCP 10.49.
   2. (b) The farm-raised deer originates from a herd that is classified as a tuberculosis qualified herd under s. ATCP 10.49, based on a whole herd test completed within the preceding 365 days of movement.

   3. (c) The farm-raised deer meets all of the following requirements:

      1. 1. It originates from a tuberculosis monitored herd under s. ATCP 10.49.
      2. 2. It has tested negative on a tuberculosis test conducted no more than 90 days prior to the movement date.
      3. 3. It has been continuously isolated since the test under subd. 2., in a manner that prevents it from contracting tuberculosis from other cervids.

   4. (d) The farm-raised deer meets all of the following requirements:

      1. 1. It has tested negative on 2 tuberculosis tests conducted 90 to 270 days apart, and the second test was performed within 90 days prior to the movement date.
      2. 2. It has been isolated since the first test under subd. 1., in a manner that prevents it from contracting tuberculosis from other cervids.
   5. (e) The farm-raised deer originates from a herd that is on the same premises as bovine animals that meets one of the requirements under s. ATCP 10.46 (11) (d) 2.

   6. (f) The farm-raised deer meets all of the following requirements:

      1. 1. The farm-raised deer is moving into a hunting ranch holding a certificate under s. ATCP 10.47.

         Note: See the note under par. (d) above.

4. (4) Chronic wasting disease certification. A certificate of veterinary inspection under sub. (1) shall certify that the farm-raised deer originates from a herd that meets all of the following requirements:

   1. (a) It has shown no clinical signs of chronic wasting disease in the past 12 months.
   2. (b) It is currently enrolled in the chronic wasting disease herd status program under s. ATCP 10.53, is in good standing, and has at least 5 years of status.

   3. (c) It is adequately separated from any wild deer herd known to be infected with chronic wasting disease. If 2 or more wild deer found or killed within 5 miles of the farm-raised deer herd have tested positive for chronic wasting disease, the certificate of veterinary inspection may not certify that the farm-raised deer herd is adequately separated under this paragraph unless the herd is enclosed by a double protective barrier under s. ATCP 10.58 that was installed before, or within a reasonable time after, the farm-raised deer keeper first received notice of the disease finding in the second wild deer and has been continuously maintained since erected.

      Note: The department will notify a farm-raised deer keeper whenever a wild deer found or killed within 5 miles of the keeper’s farm-raised deer herd tests positive for chronic wasting disease. Ninety days is generally a “reasonable time” to install a double protective barrier, for purposes of par. (c), although winter construction limitations may justify a longer “reasonable time.”
