AHWBE call for views: strengthening bovine TB eradication
Open discussion on bovine tuberculosis: request from the Animal Health and Welfare Board for England and the Bovine TB Eradication Advisory Group.
Detail
The invitation to share your views asks a number of basic questions:
- what further measures do we want to see put in place to reduce transmission of the disease?
- can government and industry do more to crack down on risky practices?
- how can we stop the disease moving into new areas?
- does the livestock industry see opportunities to do things differently and more for itself?
- what is the right division of future responsibilities between government and industry when it comes to TB testing and compensation arrangements?
- how can we make the right changes happen with, in these times of national budget deficits, a reducing Defra budget?
