Interpretation of BrBME test results

Information related to the interpretation of results from Brucellosis Bulk Milk tests.

Results are provided by the lab to the Veterinary Service, and are categorised into negative, inconclusive, low positive, medium positive, and high positive. Currently, we take identical action in all cases where the result is 'non-negative'. With increasing experience in the use of this test, differentiation may be made. In the case of larger herds, the inherent dilution factor means that negative results must be regarded with caution.
