Fees and annual membership costs

Annual membership fees for the CHECS licensed schemes range from £40 to £85; all fees for laboratory testing required under disease programme rules are in addition to this, as are veterinary fees. The annual charge for CHECS TB Entry Level Membership is likely to range from £10 to £40 all depending on whether you are participating in other CHECS disease programmes.

It is advisable to discuss your specific farm disease control needs, and the rules and requirements for particular CHECS disease programmes, with your veterinary surgeon, before deciding on enrolment with a scheme provider.

All scheme providers work to the same Technical Documents and the details of these documents can also be discussed with your veterinary surgeon.
