TB testing paused for summer holidays

This holiday season, OSPRI will not be conducting any on farm TB tests, with our technicians taking a well-deserved break from Saturday the 20th of December 2025 and returning Monday the 5th of January 2026.

So as not to be caught out, we'd encourage you to plan ahead - and this is especially important if your farm is in an area of under livestock movement restrictions. If you anticipate moving cattle or deer over the period we're not testing, then here's what you need to know:

• Contact us now to schedule a pre-movement test in November or early December
• We'll need at least 14 days' notice to organise pre-movement testing at your property
• Livestock can then be moved up to 60 days after clear TB test.

If you have an urgent enquiry over the holiday period, our Support Centre remains open.
