Informed consent was obtained verbally from dairy farm owners who were briefed in the presence of a witnesses (local experts) on the tuberculin skin testing procedure and the study questionnaire. Farmers were briefed that there is no known risks to the animal associated with tuberculin skin testing, their participation in study is voluntary and that confidentiality on test and survey results will be maintained. The vast majority of the farmers interviewed were literate and could understand the nature of our study and verbally gave their willingness to participate in the study; even those small number of farmers who were illiterate were literate enough to understand the nature of our study and gave their informed verbal consent. The ethical approval we got from AHRI-ALERT is for the entire project that also covers collection of data from participant farmers using informed verbal consent.
