[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 3731686, member: 1048"] No offence Bovine but its totally flawed thinking from profesionals like yourself is the biggest reason TB has been allowed to get totally out of control.. You cannot say: Oh it doesn't matter if the animals have Lesions or not but the blood test is effective when the majority of the animals taken by the blood test will never go on to have TB unlike the Skin test when 70% have lesions and the blood tested cattle only have 3% lesions on Kill.. Take cancer in Humans, no doctor would use a test that is 97% inaccurate ( ie throwing 97% false positives ) to decide if people have cancer or not. 70% accuracy isn't good enough but 3% accuracy is a complete nonsense!
