Notes on Bovine Pre-Entry Disease Certificates
The owner should arrange for his Veterinarian to have the bull disease tested and this certificate
must be in the hands of Xcell Breeding Services Ltd before the bull can be unloaded at the AB
Centre.
This testing must be done prior to entry to the AB Centre.
Bulls will not be accepted from herds that are not officially tuberculosis free.
Tests required are:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
Caudal fold intradermal tuberculin test.
Brucella abortus CFT.
IBR Elisa.
Leptospiral MAT.L.pomona L.copenhagen L.hardjo.
Johnes CFT.
Enzootic Bovine Leucosis Agit.
For EBL (f) only please note: If the bull is under 24 months of age, the dam must also be
tested. In the case of animals derived by embryo transfer, ‘dam’ means the recipient of the
embryo. If the dam cannot be tested, then semen cannot be traded until the bull can be tested
at two years of age.
(g)
BVD Elisa antigen.
The bull must be treated for internal and external parasites within the testing period.
Bull’s positive to Leptospirosis must be treated twice at a 24 hour interval with streptomycin at a
dose rate of 25mg/kg body weight. The bull can then be accepted at the AB Centre.
Bulls with a positive IBR Elisa will be accepted. Bull’s positive to other tests will not be accepted.
Please ensure that the bull is isolated during and after testing.
Precondition the bull with hay at least 7 days prior to departure to the AB Centre.

Completed certificate must be with Xcell Breeding Services Ltd before animals come on
centre (see sample).
Veterinarians name.
Date of examination - please ensure they are examined and appear to be reproductively
sound.
Animals name.
Identification - ear tag, tattoo, photograph, etc.
Breed.
Owners name and/or syndicate name.
Owners address.
Test panel - ensure complete - NB: no need for TB test if within previous 60 days.
Requires min 10mls plain.
Treated for internal and external parasites.
EBL - If bull is under 24 months of age and dam is unable to be tested, then bull’s semen is
ineligible for trade until the bull can be tested at 24 months of age.
Property of origin questions “After due inquiry” means that the questions are asked,
response confirmed and that there is compliance with the requirements of the certificate.
Continuously resident in NZ or Australia since birth.
Isolation - In my opinion, this is critical and I feel that it is the testing veterinarians
responsibility to ensure the animal is isolated during pre-entry (ie ask the owner to point
out the isolation paddock and impress on him the importance of isolation).
Signature of Veterinarian.
Date.
Practice name, phone, fax - this is really helpful to us if we need to confirm details or
request additional tests.
Finally, hay feeding will help pre conditioning of animals during the pre-entry isolation period.
