LWCC HONORS H4H
We're proud to be Louisiana Worker's Compensation Corporation's 1st Quarter "Champions of Louisiana" through their Louisiana Loyal Program!
Among the list of past Champions are organizations who work to better the state, not only by contributing to the state economy, but also by supporting health and wellness, safety, education, and other proactive initiatives contributing to transformational change in Louisiana.
Our program wouldn't be a success without the generosity of our corporate and individual sponsors, as well as the sportsmen and women throughout Louisiana. Thank you all for your support!
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)
CWD is a neurodegenerative disease found in most deer species, including but not limited to white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, red deer, moose, and caribou. It is infectious, always fatal, and there is no treatment. It’s part of a group of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) and is similar to BSE (mad cow disease) in cattle and scrapie in sheep. These diseases cause irreversible damage to brain tissue, which leads to excessive salivation, neurological symptoms, emaciation, and death of the animal.
Effective March 2, 2017, no person shall import, transport or possess any cervid carcass or part of a cervid carcass originating outside of Louisiana unless certain criteria is met.
