Call for donations of candidate bovine tuberculin for the WOAH project to replace the International Standard Bovine Tuberculin
The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) is embarking on a crucial initiative to replace the current International Standard for Bovine Tuberculin (ISBT). Following comprehensive evaluation of initial candidates and based on recommendations from the WOAH Ad Hoc Group and Biological Standards Commission, WOAH is launching a new call to established manufacturers of bovine tuberculin, inviting them to donate bulk candidate tuberculin for evaluation as a potential replacement for the current ISBT.
