[QUOTE="bovine, post: 3731698, member: 12486"] The skin test is way more than 70% accurate [URL]http://veterinaryrecord.bmj.com/content/177/10/258[/URL] In most infected herds the majority of positive results with the gamma interferon test will have TB or have been exposed to TB. The accuracy is nothing like as low as 3%, there are just so many other possible factors at play that make putting an exact number on that impossible. You wouldn't expect to find lesions in these positive cattle, it doesn't mean they aren't going to go down with TB. [/QUOTE]
