Biotracking only does pregnancy and CAE. If you want CL or anything else, you'll have to send elsewhere.

This year I plan on sending blood to biotracking for CAE testing on all the does when I do preggo tests - which I'm doing this year because it's my first using CIDR's/PG600, and I plan on doing AI on a couple does, too. The rest of the CAE as well as pooled johnes fecals will be done at DCPAH where I work. Super convenient.

Biotracking now offers to send your samples off to WADDL for CL after they test for CAE/pregnancy.

They charge $10 to package & forward all your samples (price is the same if you have 1 sample or 15) so you don't have to draw more blood..... You then of course contact WADDL & pay them their testing fee..

Ill have to play with the prices, I wouldn't draw blood twice either way, id just draw more and use two tubes to divide it into, sounds cheaper that away.
UGA now offers CAE and Johnes testing but waiting to hear back from the Lab if the test for CL and pregnancy, if not I may just forgo it since its not that reliable and I have known all but a couple of my goats since they where kids, the ones I don't know came from the same breeders that I know so the test was more for show than piece of mind.
I hate all this technical stuff Im going to go take my girls for a walk now to remind myself why I do all t his bull butter.
