Bovine TB Advisory Group publishes final report

The final report of the Bovine TB Advisory Group has been published.

The report summarises the Group's work since it was convened in 2006 and makes a number of recommendations on the future approach to eradicating bovine TB, as well as including a document aimed at challenging myths and misunderstandings around bovine TB.

The report marks the conclusion of the Group's work, which has provided advice to Ministers and the Chief Veterinary Officer on developing TB control policies, as well as playing an important role in communicating with farmers, vets and other stakeholders.

The report will be considered by the TB Eradication Group, which makes recommendations to the Government on eradicating bovine TB in England.

The report and the document on myths and misunderstandings, can be found on the TB Advisory Group webpage at: http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/tb/partnership/advisorygroup.htm.
