Tb Contagious test

[Zippy768]

Can I do our Contagious test in two halves?
We have some animals that are sold that need a test to move. Can I use the "Contagious" test to get them tested and moved. Then once they have left get the rest of the herd tested?

I assume once you start a "whole herd contagious test" you have to complete it before being able to move anything off?

Yes, as long as it is within your regular test interval. We split our herd over two days, we can do them in one day but if something goes wrong it's a long day!

I'm not so sure.
I think you can do the test in 2 'halves' but they would not be happy if you had movements in between.

I'm on about testing two halves a month a part.
Basically I want the first have to be a contagious/pre movement test. Then sell them. Then the second half (month later) to be a contagious/annual test - as I have 14 days overlap in which i can get both done

Sounds doubtfull
You cant sell half of them if they are all for a test

That is what I am thinking. Would think once you start a whole herd test, one would be under restrictions until the last animal is tested......but u never know.

N.b wasnt half of them sold. Just a small percentage. But you get the idea

you could send to slaughter....
