This is so simple and unbelievably cheap.
There’s a company I used to work for, Advanced Animal Diagnostics (haven’t checked to see if they’ve been absorbed or not) but literally you can take a blood sample of each cow in a herd and test the entire herd in a very short time for over 30 diseases including Bird Flu.
When I was there more than 10 years ago, they were able to test over 2000 cattle in about 45 minutes. The machine for the testing was about $10k but the supplies for everything else after that for the next 3 years was about $2/head.
They had this down in 2013. How much faster are they today and their competitors. Literally, this is a simple and easy and relatively cheap process.
$2 a head once a week for 500 head = $1000 a week.
That may be "relatively cheap," but it is an unnecessary expense and it adds up.
There is no reason to test every cow and every dairy worker every week, period.
There is no need to test them at all unless you want to manufacture an opportunity to kill entire herds of cattle because one of them "tested positive."
