AHWBE call for views: strengthening bovine TB eradication

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?
