In the context of the authorisation referred to in the second sentence, the competent authority may limit the investigation to a contact group to be established by the competent authority. In so far as the examination of bovine animals referred to in the second sentence has been carried out with a negative result on antibodies against the gE glycoprotein of the virus of BHV1 infection, the requirements of point 1a shall be considered to be fulfilled. Point 1 (1) (a) and (c) shall apply accordingly.

1b.

In a bovine herd consisting of more than 50 per cent of bovine animals aged up to nine months, subject to the fourth sentence, a sample of bovine animals taking place at the earliest 30 days after the last reagent has been removed shall be subject to the following conditions:

b): if the bovine animals have been vaccinated with vaccines within the meaning of Article 2 (1), no antibodies against the gE-glycoprotein of the BHV1 virus are not blood serologically

, or the herd has been established only with BHV1-free bovine animals. The study referred to in the first sentence shall include as many bovine animals as possible that, with a probability of 95 of the hundred and a prevalence threshold of 5 of the hundred, a BHV1 infection can be detected. Point 1 (1) (a) and (c) shall apply accordingly. In the cases referred to in point 1a, the sentences 1 to 3 shall not apply.

2.

The bovine animals of the herd shall not be in contact with bovine animals outside the herd which are not free from BHV1 infection. This also applies to the participation of the cattle of the herd in markets, animal shows or similar events, as well as for their transport and the loading of common pastures or for the transfer to an animal clinic.

3.

The cattle of the herd may only be

a): of bulls that are free from BHV1 infection, or
b): be used with semen of bulls derived from a BHV1-free semen collection centre at the time of the seed production or, in the case of the BHV1 status referred to in Section II, point 3, before the sampling for the last one with a negative result was obtained in accordance with Section II (2).

In stocks that are free from BHV1 infection, only bulls that are free from BHV1 infection may be hired. For artificial insemination, only seeds of bulls may be used which,

a): if the bulls have not been vaccinated against a BHV1 infection, have a blood serological effect on antibodies against the BHV1 virus infection,
b): if the bulls have been vaccinated with vaccines within the meaning of § 2 (1), blood serologically with negative result on antibodies against the gE-glycoprotein of the virus of BHV1 infection

have been investigated.

: Section II

Maintenance of BHV1-freedom of a herd of cattle (check-ups)

The BHV1-freedom of a stock shall be maintained if the following requirements are met:

1.

All bovine animals of the herd are free from clinical manifestations indicating BHV1 infection.

2.

Depending on the epidemiological situation, blood serological control tests must be carried out in all bovine animals aged over 24 months. ² ,

a): if the bovine animals have not been vaccinated against a BHV1 infection, with a negative result on antibodies against the BHV1 virus,
b): provided that the bovine animals have been vaccinated with vaccines within the meaning of Article 2 (1), with a negative result on antibodies against the gE-glycoprotein of the BHV1 virus

must have been carried out at a distance of no more than 12 months. Sentence 1 shall apply to bovine animals in herds

a): Section I (1a), with the proviso that the blood serological control tests ² in the case of all female bovine animals and male bovine animals up to nine months old, unless the bovine herd consists of bovine animals which are exclusively fattened in stable conditions and which are directly delivered for slaughter,
b): Section I (1b), with the proviso that the blood serological control tests should be carried out in such a way that a BHV1 infection can be detected with a probability of 95 of the hundred and a prevalence threshold of 5 of the hundred.

In the event that the maximum examination distance is exceeded by up to three months after sentence 1 or 2, the status shall rest for a period of not more than three months, pending a single blood serological examination. ²

a)

in the case of the sentence 1 of all bovine animals aged over 24 months,

b)

in the case of sentence 2

aa): Point (a) of all female bovine animals and male bovine animals up to nine months old,
bb): Point (b) with a probability of 95 of the hundred and a prevalence threshold of 5 of the hundred in bovine animals under nine months of age

of the stock have not been detected.

2a.

bovine animals aged over nine months from a bovine herd referred to in point I (1a) other than bovine animals which are brought directly to slaughter or in respect of which a control inquiry has already been carried out in accordance with the second sentence of point 2; must have been examined at the earliest 14 days before the date of the application of the first sentence of paragraph 2.

3.

In the event that an investigation is carried out,

a)

in accordance with the first sentence of the first sentence of paragraph 2 and the second sentence of the second sentence of the second sentence, the status shall be determined until a blood serological examination carried out at the earliest 30 days after the removal of the last Reagent ²

aa): of all female bovine animals and of the male bovine animals provided for breeding have not been found to be a reagent or,
bb): provided that the competent authority so authorises, no re-agents have been identified in the bovine animals of a contact group to be established by the competent authority and that it is ensured that all bovine animals which have been taken within six months of the removal of the last bovine animal Reagents from the stock, except directly for slaughter, are spent at the earliest 14 days prior to the transfer of blood serological ² have been investigated with negative results on antibodies against the gE-glycoprotein of the virus of BHV1 infection,

b)

according to the second sentence of paragraph 2, point (b) of the Reagents, the status of the blood serological examination shall be based on the status of the blood serological examination carried out at the earliest 30 days after the removal of the last Reagent. ² in the case of bovine animals of a contact group to be established by the competent authority, no reagents have been established and it is ensured that all bovine animals coming from the herd within six months of the removal of the last reagent, except directly for slaughter, being transported at the earliest 14 days prior to the transfer of blood serological ² have been investigated with negative results on antibodies against the gE glycoprotein of the virus of BHV1 infection.
