Paragraph 20

Semen may be collected from a bull imported for direct entry to a semen collection centre and subject to 9 months isolation. Such semen may only be collected after confirmation of a negative result to the EBL test carried out between 150 and 155 days after landing and must be stored at an approved centre. It may not be used until the bull and any other imported cattle in contact with it have passed the final post-importation EBL test between 270 and 275 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 premises are released from isolation.
