Improving Bovine TB controls: post-movement testing of cattle in England
Seeking views on improving Bovine TB controls in England, including post-movement tests for cattle moving to the Low Risk Area (LRA) of England.
Detail
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.
