Guidelines for Submitting Bovine Ear Notches
for FA testing for Persistently Infected BVD

1. Ear notches should be taken with a sharp adult-sized pig ear notching tool.

  • Baby pig ear notchers, punches and other cutting and punching tools are not recommended; the sample they provide is too small for an accurate test.
  • Dull notchers can damage the sample.

Ear notches need to be fresh and from healthy ears.

  • Avoid testing scabby or frostbitten ears.
  • DO NOT put sample in formalin.
  • Samples should be fresh and chilled, NOT FROZEN.

3.Package individually in tubes or vials.

  • Number tubes 1-........ and with animal identification to match information on the accession form.

4.  If submitting more than 50 ear notches, please give prior notice (765-494-7440) at least 24 hours to allow for fastest possible processing of samples.
