Disease Surveillance Part 3 - Bovine Tuberculosis

Описание: Any disease or ill health in livestock can have a negative impact on production through reduced growth rates, fertility, and rearing ability. Poor or prolonged performance will result in a rise in input costs, an extended period to sale and potential reduced market value and in some cases, increase mortality rates which will also result in a higher carbon footprint for the farm business. 

In this video, part 3 of the disease surveillance video series, we take a look at bovine tuberculosis. In the last year there has been an increase in the number of new herds found to have TB in Scotland, particularly in the South West. Sarah Tomlinson, a vet from the TB Advisory Service discusses the current TB situation in Scotland and shares some practical tips that farmers can implement to maintain Scotland's Officially TB free status.
