48 Gwartheg Cattle If the owner wishes to return it to the cattle lines he may, at the discretion of the Festival Director or his nominee, arrange for a blood sample and vaginal swab to be taken privately and examined at an approved laboratory. If both the Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and microscopical examination of a smear made from the swab are negative, the animal may then leave isolation. Welsh Government will not be responsible for any fee or other charges incurred in this respect. Animals calving prematurely or aborting must immediately be placed in the approved isolation accommodation and the AHVLA at the Showground will be informed by the Office. If an animal calves or aborts before it can be isolated, full precautions must be taken to isolate and disinfect any possibly contaminated standings, bedding, utensils and vehicles. The AHVLA will serve a BS 27 Isolation Notice on the owner or person in charge and arrange an investigation (either by an OV) ensuring that the full range of samples is obtained. The animal under investigation will remain in isolation whilst on the Showground. Once fit to travel, it can return home or remain in isolation until the end of the Show. If the animal is moved before the BS 27 Notice is lifted, a Movement Licence will be required, obtained from the AHVLA. The AHVLA for the Show will notify the AHVLA of the Division of the registered premises of the circumstances of the abortion so that a further BS 27 can be served isolating the animal pending the results of further laboratory investigations. All other bovine animals from the same registered premises will not be allowed to compete further in the Show until negative results for an RBPT and microscopical examination of the smear from the aborting animal have been received.
