Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effect of different injection sites (cervical vs. scapular) on the performance of intradermal tuberculin tests for diagnosing tuberculosis in goats.
- It involved intradermal inoculations of 309 goats with avian and bovine PPDs and compared reactions between the two sites, focusing on skin fold thickness and clinical signs.
- Results indicated that cervical injections led to higher skin fold thickness and more noticeable clinical signs in high-prevalence herds, suggesting it might enhance the sensitivity of the tests without affecting specificity.
