CHECK TEST SUBMISSION FORM:
Please copy this page of the form for each management group as necessary.
(a) Take samples of blood from not less than five calves in the age range 9 to 18 months in each separately managed group. If there
are fewer than five calves in a group, then test all calves in the group.
(b) If animals of 9-18 months are not available, samples can be taken from calves or 6-18 months, although maternal antibodies may
still be present. When testing calves of 6-18 months, 10 animals in each separately managed group should be sampled.
(c) Where there are less than 10 calves 6-18 months, not less than 5 homebred animals over 18 months of age can be used for the
check test however, animals that have been born into the herd since achieving BVD-free status should be tested to avoid detecting
antibodies from historic exposure.
(d) Shetland only- where fewer than 10 calves 6-18 months, test all calves.
How many breeding cows are on the farm?
How many calving periods does the farm have each year?
How many separately managed groups of stock in the age range 9 to 18 months or
6 to 9 months are present on the farm?

CALF SCREEN SUBMISSION FORM:
Please copy this form for further calves as necessary.
For a calf screen, all calves born on the farm in a 12 month period must be screened for BVD virus. The 12 month period will be set
by the timing of the last test e.g. if the last screening test was done between February 2012 and February 2013 then all calves must be
tested from February 2013 to February 2014.
Please discuss the options for this with the testing laboratory where necessary – this can be done by blood or ear tissue testing.

MILK TESTING SUBMISSION FORM:
Quarterly bulk milk - A representative milk sample from the bulk tank(s) should be tested for BVDV antibody. Four quarterly bulk milk
tests in one year, not less than 80 days and not more than 100 days apart, are needed. Four consecutive negative tests are needed to
constitute a negative result for that year.
Single bulk - Test a single bulk tank milk (BTM) sample plus individual bloods from any cows that did not contribute to the bulk tank
that day, including dry cows and in-calf heifers, for BVDV antibody. If the milk goes into more than one tank a separate sample from
each tank should be tested.
1st lactation heifer sampling is useful when older animals in the herd have antibodies from historic exposure. The 1 st lactation heifer
sample is screened for antibodies.
Please discuss these options with the testing laboratory where necessary.
