  "text": "An imported bull not intended for direct entry to a semen collection centre may be examined and tested to establish whether or not it is fit to be used for the purposes of artificial insemination. In the case of bulls undergoing 4 months isolation this examination and testing may be undertaken immediately upon entry into isolation and in the case of bulls undergoing 6 months isolation it may be undertaken following confirmation of a negative result to the EBL test carried out between 70 and 74 days after landing. If it is found that the bulls are suitable, semen may be collected and stored at an approved centre. Semen may not be used until the bull and any other imported cattle in contact with it have, in the case of animals subject to four months isolation, passed the single post-importation EBL test carried out within 120 days of landing or, in the case of animals subject to six months isolation, have passed the final post-importation EBL test between 180 and 184 days after landing. If any imported animal on the same isolation premises as the donor bull fails the EBL test the semen must remain in isolation until all animals on that pemises are released from isolation.",
