[QUOTE="matthew, post: 6762309, member: 169"] Of course if a cow is carrying T.B. when she boards a lorry, the a trip in any direction will not alter that status. That is why a post movement test is a better screen than a preMT. But crucially, post FMD, the spoligotypes did not seed out. Cattle were tested, slaughtered and that was that. We are under the cosh re cattle testing and slaughter. What is missing is similar co ordinated action on wildlife. TB specialists tell me that clusters of farms under TB2 indicate a common source infecting. You can double fence your boundaries and prevent any cattle contact. That is not so easy with our wildlife reservoir. [/QUOTE]
