BVD Herd restrictions

Please see the below information regarding BVD Herd restrictions from AHWNI.

This describes the process to be followed to get some categories of BVDFEM status cattle (females over 12 months old at a point 21 days after a BVD herd restriction was lifted) derestricted.

We recommend all breeding females to be vaccinated with appropriate BVD vaccine 3
Weeks prior to breeding to prevent disease in your herd and recommend all calves to be sampled as soon as possible to eradicate BVD.

🐄 Bovine Genetics Genotyping scheme 🔬🧬

Bovine Genetics Genotyping scheme sample drop off available at all our clinics.

On 1st September 2026, SRG launched the new subsidised bovine genetics genotyping scheme, providing Northern Ireland farmers with greater access to genomic information to support future breeding and management decisions.

Sustainable Ruminant Genetics (SRG)- is an industry-led, not-for-profit company established to support a more profitable, productive, and environmentally sustainable future for Northern Ireland’s farmers and the wider agri-food sector.

Initially, the scheme will cover all females and breeding males (registered as bulls), allowing farmers to begin genotyping eligible animals and submitting samples to the SRG Genotyping Lab.

From 1st January 2027, the scheme will expand further to include every calf born and registered in 2027.

Through the scheme the cost of genotyping an animal will be £11 plus VAT per sample plus the price of the tag. Farmers will receive a £13 payment for every eligible genotype submitted which will cover the cost of the tag and genotyping. The scheme will allow farmers to get a full genomic profile of their herd and have the costs fully covered.

Genotyping provides farmers with valuable information about the genetic makeup of their animals, supporting more informed breeding and management decisions. By understanding more about the genetic potential of their livestock, farmers can use this information when making decisions about breeding and selecting replacement animals.

To take part in the scheme, farmers must first register with SRG. Once registered, farmers can order their tags from an approved tag supplier and begin submitting samples for genotyping.

All our practices are registered as
drop off clinics in Northern Ireland for genotyping samples for testing within the Bovine Genetics Project. Farmers can drop off samples in colour-coded (pink) envelopes addressed to the SRG Genotyping Lab (provided by your tag supplier). Envelopes will be collected regularly from our clinics for onward delivery to the appropriate lab in Belfast.

The locations of premises registered as drop-off points will be available to farmers on a map at www.srgni.com.

Our vet Nigel Edwards has started genotyping his herd, and the first samples are away!
