Cattle- BVD Tests

From the ScotEID homepage, select BVD tests from the Cattle Menu on the left hand side of the main page.

This will allow you to view the most recent BVD test result and current overall BVD Herd status for all your clients holdings.

The BVD Tests table lists the current BVD herd status, most recent test result/date and address for each test holding number.

Green Category 1 = BVD Certified Negative Holding, Yellow Category 2 = BVD Negative Holding, Red Category 3 = Not Negative Holding. This can be shown by hovering your cursor over the category column as shown in the second image.

The table can be sorted by using the up/down arrows on the table header. For example to view the most recent test result date first, select the arrow on the date column.
