The regional uptake of herd testing services in <strong>2010</strong>/<strong>11</strong> is shown in Table 4.2, where the number of cows tested refers to all cows tested at<br />
least once in the season. Next to East Coast, where all nine herds were herd-tested, Taranaki had the highest percentage of herds using herd<br />
testing (81%) and the highest percentage of cows herd testing (82%). The Central Plateau recorded the lowest percentage of cows herd<br />
tested (54%). In general, the growth areas of North and South Canterbury and Southland have the lowest percentage of herds that herd test.<br />
