Tb test still on ?

[onthehoof]

Tb test due week after next, will it still happen due to lock down?

 

[Werzle]

They havent stopped yet unless the farmer cancelled them and was happy to be put under restriction

 

[onthehoof]

Couldn't remember if they stopped last time

 

[milkloss]

I'm sure it will.... try and socially distance at the crush and wear masks etc.

Farmers will be there own worst enemy if we start picking and choosing what we want to carry on and what we want stopped during lockdown. We need markets to stay open so shouldnt be delaying tb tests unless you have a member of the family who is very high risk.

I don't want it delayed, need to get it done and crack on

Ours wasn’t delayed in May during last lockdown, as far as I know they are still going ahead.

Our every 4 year test is in 2week anD I would rather it was over and done with than put off

 

[Muddyroads]

We tested in the first week of April, late June and mid September. All went as planned (Apart from some of the results!)

4 Yr test, you're living the dream, often 6months here!

Got a 60 day severe test booked for Tuesday week after we had one go down with lesions in the abbatoir. I certainly don’t want it delayed. Can’t buy anything in until I’ve had this test completed and I have two batches of calves in rearing units waiting to come on

 

[Forever Fendt]

It will be on but you can refuse to do anything under 6 months old

 

[primmiemoo]

Keep calm, stay covid safe, and Carry On.

That test will be a check test for slaughterhouse case. Even if clear it won't count as a clear test IIRC

 

[Jerry]

My test is tomorrow for the jabs do should be fine pre lock down.

I helped out my nieghbour for his test mid lock down. No delay for him.

No, already done the full herd check test as a result of abbatoir case which was all clear. This is first of two 60 days at severe interpretation combined with a gamma test as well

^^ If you haven't had gamma before, beware. Or be aware. It is likely that the first visit will not hoover up all available samples and the team will have to come back. They may omit to inform you of this. Gamma doesn't count as a clear test either, so if you have gamma reactors (very likely, given its specificity) then you still need skin tests and they cannot be done if reactors are on the farm, and if you over run the timing window, that's a hanging offence - even if it's Apha's fault.

Good luck.

Combined?
Are you doing gamma and skin at same time?

 

[An Gof]

Yes

Why handle 3 times when you can handle only twice?
