Should you wish to participate, this TASAH activity is free of charge as it is funded by DAFM and covers the bacteriological testing of faecal samples collected by your nominated private veterinary practitioner (PVP) on their biosecurity assessment visit of your farm. The test results are confidential and remain between the farmer, the PVP and AHI, who manage the programme database.
The results will be used to develop ‘farm specific’ control plans for Salmonella, which will be drawn up by the PVP in agreement with the farmer in the same manner as for any other disease present on the farm.
