What new blood tests are these?

Gamma tests, just about to be or has just been introduced that if you go down in the cull area then they will do a whole herd blood test, throws up a LOT of false positives on most farms and numbers that get taken after this test are normally very high, especially in older cattle like cows for example.

Theres nothing new about gamma, I've already done one and lost 23 out of 800+ tested and I'll have to do another if I don't get a clear test in a couple of weeks time. Some of my near neighbors are about to do their third gamma test now. Most of my failures were yearlings, only two had VL and they were older cows.
