To play your part in the fight against Tb, here are five simple rules to remember:

1. If you’re moving cattle or deer one month of age or over out of your herd:
• They must be correctly identified with AHB approved ear tags
• A full Animal Status Declaration Form must go with the animals.

2. If your herd is located in a Declared Movement Control Area or some of your herd has tested positive for Tb, make sure you understand and comply with requirements for pre-movement tests before moving stock.

3. Before you purchase or graze cattle or deer over one month of age check they have AHB approved ear tags and an accompanying Animal Status Declaration Form.

4. When  routine tests for Tb are arranged for your herd, make sure you present all animals eligible for Tb testing, and that your yards are safe and suitable for testing to be carried out.

5. If your property is within an AHB vector control operation, please co-operate with our control and monitoring contractors.
