Can I sell inconclusive reactors for slaughter?

Information related to the sale of inconclusive reactor animals to slaughter when your herd is restricted due to a Tuberculosis (TB) reactor animal being found in the herd.

If you are complying with Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) Restricted Herd Test (RHT) testing requirements you can sell inconclusives for slaughter, but you should discuss it with your Veterinary Officer (VO) first. If you decide to slaughter an inconclusive you will probably need to have another herd test. Where an inconclusive is to be moved to slaughter a movement licence must be obtained from the Divisional Veterinary Office (DVO). This licence will be endorsed with instructions to the VO at the slaughterhouse indicating that a detailed post-mortem examination is required and samples are to be submitted to the laboratory.
