TB control & eradication in Wales
Innovation for Agriculture has been involved in a piece of work for the Welsh TB Engagement Task & Finish Group, formulating recommendations to improve communications and engagement with the farming community around TB control and eradication in Wales. Leading on from this, IfA were invited to participate in follow-up work focusing on enhancing the role of the private vet and vet-led team to tackle TB in Wales. Participants, including cattle farmers, vets and Gov stakeholders, all came together to explore ways in which private vets, Gov vets (APHA) and farmers can work more closely to
- prevent TB breakdowns
- Provide better support for farmers in the event of a breakdown. For example, are vets intervening at the right time and in the right way? How can vets take more of a lead and become better engaged in the eradication of TB?
