^aHolding facility: a site designated for holding cattle for short periods of time such as impounded straying cattle with and without ear tags. ^bTotal number of unique identity farms that were visited by BTEC from 2015 to 2020. In the columns to the right, data are the number of tests applied, the unique identity farms or animals tested, and the farms or animals with positive results in that year. Many farms and some animals were tested more than once per year; the same farm or animal can appear in more than one year, but within a year a farm or animal appears only once.
