The recent move to a BTV8 Lower Risk Zone was a welcome one – and we’re now asking members to ensure they comply with Animal Health requests for testing as Defra looks to meet the accompanying EU requirements.
The department must sample 150 unvaccinated animals per month in the South of England and AH will be carrying this out as part of its usual schedule of visits. Strict criteria and limited time make your assistance very much appreciated.
The latest figures show that the July monthly target was met, with 151 samples collected, but Defra has said extra help may be required in the South East.
