Hearing on the news yesterday about the hindu bull that has failed his TB test, I wait with anticipation, especially at the proposed efforts to save him.

Why did Roxy the holstein get a re-test if he had a positive reaction?

She reacted to a pre movement test prior to going to a show in France,and being one posh cow worth thousands more than the compensation value,her owner questioned the vets proccedure,and managed to delay Defra,while aprivate vet re-tested Roxy and about 11 of her herdmates all went clear,the whole story is on bovinetb.blogspot.com sue

I believe all cattle have the second test - usually 6 weeks after the first. The farm meanwhile is on hold for any movements other than to an abattoir. The test is not 100% accurate so why a second test can be different ....but they often are clear Jo
