However, these studies must not be carried out in the six-week period up to six weeks after the calving. "

Investigation of an individual animal test to be carried out in the presence of a non-negative milk sample by means of a blood sample

the stock is in any case blocked for animal transport until the result of the reconnaction investigation has been met; and

Milk from animals of this type may be placed on the market only if the milk has been heat-treated in such a way that the phosphatase test is not negative.

The end of the gestation is to be seen.

After calving, the official veterinarian shall, as soon as possible, send the post-birth and blood of the baby's calf as well as the blood of the mother animal to the reference laboratory for brucellosis for brucellosis, and at least for brucellosis there. under investigation. In order to answer the question as to whether the pathogen is present in the herd, the use of all suitably validated and scientifically recognised methods of investigation provided by the EU or the O.I.E. shall be permitted.

If the periodic milk tests are carried out in a herd in which a bovine animal according to lit. If the laboratory results for brucellosis are again not safely negative, the procedure shall be taken in accordance with Section 7 (2).

Show the studies in the national reference laboratory for brucellosis, that all studies except for the studies of the animal according to lit. b for brucellosis, the stock shall be deemed to be bangfree. "
