Can herd owners add animals to any TB test carried out?
Herd owners can request additional animals to be added to any routine TB test for the purpose of a pre-movement test and the cost will be met by Animal Health . The only exception is where the test is an Inconclusive Reactor (IR) retest or a Tracing test. Animals can be added for pre-movement testing but the cost will be met by the herd owner for these extra animals. If Animal Health carry out these IR and Tracing tests then additional animals cannot be added for the purposes of a pre-movement test.
