Bovine TB has a significant impact on farms and our agricultural economy.
It affects:
- cattle
- domestic non-bovines (llamas and alpacas)
- wildlife (badgers and deer)
- humans
What we want to do
Our aim is to:
- find it
- deal with the source of infection
- stamp it out
- stop it from coming back
This means we must control TB in badgers, and in camelids. It also means that we test dead animals to check the levels of TB.
How we will do this
We have identified each area as Low, Intermediate or High, based on the incidence of the disease. This allows us to apply appropriate controls to each area. It also allows us to make changes if the incidence of TB changes in an area.
