An easy way of establishing whether certain infectious diseases are circulating on your farm is to blood test a small group of youngstock.
We would recommend sampling 6 animals from your farm, these must be:
- Home bred
- Unvaccinated
- 6-15 months of age
If animals from this cohort are blood sampled and the results indicate that antibodies to diseases are present, then it is likely that there is disease circulating on your farm.
