TB testing - farm requirements
With the continuing escalation of the TB problem, the APHA is necessarily placing much greater emphasis on the application of correct procedure during testing. As a result, vets carrying out tests will be subject to regular checks to ensure absolute compliance with regulations which will involve unannounced on-farm inspections. Should any failure to comply with procedure be found, the results will be serious and could include the voiding of the farm’s test, movement restrictions, the loss of the vet’s job. All situations which we are keen to avoid.
