The research assessed the diagnostic performance of the Enferplex Bovine TB antibody test using bulk tank milk samples from dairy cattle. The relative sensitivity was determined using bulk tank milk that contained milk from animals positive in the comparative cervical tuberculin (CCT) statutory test. The diagnostic specificity was determined using bulk tank milk from herds free of bovine tuberculosis. The raw data that were used to assess the performance of the test are deposited as a supplemental file here.
