That is all I wanted to know.

Farmers are getting sick of this. When there is a breakdown in an area, we hear about a severe or less severe interpretation. We put the gear into them and it shows they have gone down or not. Why, then, are there so many false positives on this blood test? My understanding is that there are asymptomatic cattle that never show up, but there is a UCD test. Why are we not using that to rapidly nail down if there is one cow infecting the herd but not showing up on the test?
