Title: Test resultscoming back
Post by: Rosemary on February 03, 2015, 08:02:41 pm

Well, Mak's post movement TB test was fine and we've just have the IBR and Johne's results for the cows and calves and they're all negative. Feeling relieved. Just the Lepto and BVD to come - the BVD should be fine as all the cattle have been negative for it previously.

BVD OK; one inconclusive Lepto, so retest in four weeks.

I don't know how you cope with this waiting and wondering must be so stressful. Hope you get good news.

We had an inconclusive Lepto last time - negative on retest, so sure yours will be too. We've had a false positive Johnes 3 years ago and this year we've got a positive and an inconclusive IBR - more retesting! So stressful - our biosecurity is as tight as we can make it - just have to hope these are false results as well.
