Private Veterinary Practitioners (PVPs) are paid for carrying out TB testing on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) on a scale depending on the numbers of animals being tested.
The rates are included in the excel spreadsheet attached.
Columns A to C refer to the number of animals being tested for TB testing and the corresponding rate.
Columns G to I refer to the number of animals being tested for Brucellosis and the corresponding rate.
Columns D to F refer to the "top-up" rate being paid where TB and Brucellosis testing is carried out on the same herd.
