    Anyone else get their results in the post today? Mine were alittle disappointing to be honest, including a positive for Schmallenberg. We've had zero problems with deformities etc in calves, is the positive reading from the tank anything to be worried about?

    its a good thing as cows now have at least some immunity to it. You may have been hit at a time which caused cows to repeat instead of going on to have deformed calves.

    I got a reading of 111.016 for Schmallenberg and weirdly I was happy in a way to see it. We lost 4/5 late pregnancies in 2011 and 2 more 2012 with out any explanation even from testing them, so what I'm thinking/hoping is that is what was wrong and we may now have some herd immunity built up. Fingers, legs eyes and everything else crossed it'll happen.
    From what I've read a vaccine is 5-10yrs away?
    Got 70.701 for BVD Antibody but NEG for Virus.
    Only other thing popping up is .688 for ostertagia even though they'd Eprinex last November, though would that show a newer infection?
