Improving Bovine TB controls: post-movement testing of cattle in England

We want to know what you think about proposals to improve Bovine TB controls in England. This includes a proposal to amend the Tuberculosis (England) Order 2014 to require post-movement testing of cattle moved to low risk areas in England.

This proposal follows on from a call for views on post-movement testing in 2014. It also relates to the government’s strategy for achieving Officially Bovine Tuberculosis Free (OTF) status for England.

The consultation is of interest to farmers & cattle keepers, cattle market operators, veterinarians, and all others with an interest in bovine TB.
