It costs nothing and its time to get those service bulls TB tested. The Animal Health Board is reminding dairy farmers to ensure service bulls are tested for bovine tuberculosis before they arrive on the farm this year.
The AHB provides a TB test at no cost to the farmer for all bulls aged over 12 months that are entering the dairy industry.
The AHB says it is vital that the test is undertaken, as the risk of service bulls introducing TB into a herd has heightened as the dairy industry has expanded.
