Are inconclusive reactors ever slaughtered?

Information related to the possible slaughter of inconclusive Tuberculosis (TB) reactor animals.

Occasionally, if Bovine TB has been confirmed on your farm we will slaughter inconclusives where they have been in contact with infected animals. In this case, the animals will be valued and you will receive the full valuation.

From 1 January 2010 animals that give an inconclusive result to a second consecutive bovine TB test will also be removed as reactors - please see our Q&A relating to this for further information.
