Two asymptomatic animals were suspected of having tuberculosis during the annual inspection (so-called intradermal tuberculin test) at two farms in Somogy County. The colonies are located approximately 40 km apart, but there is no direct epidemiological connection between the herds.

Thanks to the EU-wide uniform official veterinary system supervising slaughterhouses, the meat of infected animals could not be consumed by the public! Our country still maintained its “officially tuberculosis-free” rating, as the number of infected colonies remained below the legal limit.
