Advantages to submitting TB test results online

By submitting test results online, practices:

• Can access ‘real time’, up to date TB work instructions and work lists from APHA
• Produce working forms pre-populated with ear-tag numbers to record results on farm
• Can see test dates/results which help to identify animals not eligible for testing.

Also, these advantages reduce:

• Overheads such as paper and postage costs
• Time needed to check test histories
• Risk of tests going overdue
• Delay in lifting movement restriction.
