Any deer harvested within a Chronice Wasting Disease (CWD) surveillance area must be tested prior to donation or the deer's head must be provided to the meat processing location for sample collection to test for CWD.
Processors:
NCDA-compliant facilities can become a participating processor by contacting us here. Prior to each hunting season, partner processors will receive donation receipts and other necessary materials to successfully participate.
