The position is that the private veterinary practitioner nominated by the herdowner to carry out the TB test is notified at the same time that their clients are notified of a requirement to test. The notification to the private veterinary practitioner is made on-line via my Department’s Animal Health Computer System or by post where the private veterinary practitioner is not operating on-line.
