So just done the read part of a 60 day skin test after being shut down with 6 reactors a couple of months ago. We are in an edge area so testing every 6 months anyway.
Also had to do a blood test as this was considered a ’new’ outbreak, despite being in and out of restrictions for the last 7 years and also having a blood test 14 months ago.
Good new today is we passed the skin test, no reactors or IR‘s across 400 animals.
Bad news is that Ive just got an email with the blood test results for 170 of the young stock and 6 have come back positive, and we haven’t even blood tested the main herd yet ( not due till Monday)
Absolutely gutted about these results. Either the skin or the blood test must be wrong by miles, so why are bothering with it.
