Views on eradicating TB
The Animal Health and Welfare Board for England (AHWBE) are visiting farmers and vets up and down the country to get their ideas and opinions for the eradication of bovine TB.
AHWBE is an independent board of experts, which include vets, farmers and welfare experts, who together make recommendations to DEFRA.
Bovine TB is a disease affecting cattle which is costing the farming industry millions of pounds each year, despite tough new rules and endless prevention work.
Michael Seals, Chairman of AHWBE, is also calling both farmers and vets to fill in an online survey. Answers and comments will be fed directly into the government's TB eradication policy.
"This is a new phase in the battle to eradicate this terrible disease," said Michael. "I'm confident that together we'll be able to generate a wealth of new ideas to add to the existing measures to combat TB."
