Arrangements are now being made for the issue to veterinary practitioners of the lists of herds to be tested under the bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis eradication schemes. Amendments have already been made in these lists in the case of herdowners who notified their district veterinary offices by 23 March 1979 that they had changed their practitioners. The lists for the next round of testing and sampling will include amendments in respect of notifications received after that date.
