[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 7698196, member: 971"] Our dairy phoned up asking if we had imported any dairy cows that were in milk within 3 months of arrival in UK. Something to do with Defra seeking some views. Anyone know anything? I made the point that when we did import 6 years ago, it was only because of a substantial TB breakdown (so policy within UK Govt control) and because the health status of some countries superior to our own eg Denmark BVD, lepto and TB free. I also pointed out that importing as we did - in-calf heifers 2 months off calving - enabled us to test for neospora prior to import, so again, protecting herd health. Can't get an accurate blood test much earlier than 2 months prior. [/QUOTE]
