Official Statistics: Latest official statistics on pre-movement and post-movement testing for tuberculosis (TB) in cattle in Great Britain – quarterly

This publication presents official quarterly statistics on tuberculosis (TB) movement testing in cattle in Great Britain. The different TB movement testing regimes in England, Scotland and Wales reflect regional variations in disease incidence, including the Officially TB Free status of Scotland. The release covers pre-movement testing in England and Wales, and post-movement testing in Scotland and the Low Risk Area of England.

The movement testing statistics are obtained from the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) work management IT support system, which is used for the administration of TB testing in GB. They are a snapshot of the position on the date on which the data were extracted. The information is subject to regular revision until all test results are available.

This publication was revised on 7 September 2018 to correct the values for post-movement tests and testing occasions in the Low TB Area of Wales.
