Post movement reminder!
May 17, 2024
We are still hearing that farmers are unaware of the post movement testing required for cattle moving from higher incidence areas of England and Wales into the annual surveillance areas of the Edge Area. Cattle require testing 60-120 days after their arrival. This affects farms in Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire but not Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, or Bedfordshire.
There is an online look up tool where you can check the CPH number of the herd and it will tell you the testing interval for that area. This can be found on the APHA website at apha.defra.gov.uk/tb-test/index.asp
Excellent information on post movement TB testing rules is also available on TB Hub.
