A total of 305 farms were selected from Tasmanian beef and dairy farms, and blood samples were taken from 3 cattle on each farm. Of the 915 sera tested, 912 were negative. The 3 which gave reactions gave negative results to the AGID test. The survey demonstrated that Tasmania should be formally recognized as a bluetongue-free area.
