Description

Bovine TB is one of the greatest challenges facing the UK farming industry. Defra has published a strategy to achieve OTF status for England by 2038. A key part of this strategy is the promotion of good biosecurity, including risk based trading.
However, not all those in the industry are aware of biosecurity good practice, or how to utilise information about TB risk when trading livestock. Therefore, this contract seeks to develop a core set of biosecurity training materials.
