Bluetongue testing
Pirbright carries out BTV testing on behalf of APHA and Defra, which is currently taking up to 10 working days. If disease confirmation is required, results will take longer. Pirbright can only confirm results once the testing process is complete. We ask those submitting test samples to ensure the form is completed correctly, checked before it is sealed, and that the parcel is clearly identified as ERZ, WRZ or Pre-licence move before it is sent. Please do not contact the laboratory directly. We cannot provide results over the phone or by email. For queries regarding test results, please contact APHA on 03000 200 301.
