"Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon is set to launch a new Bovine TB Action Plan today, aimed at addressing Ireland's escalating TB levels."
"It's understood the plan sets out five high-level measures: supporting herds free of TB to remain free; reducing wildlife-related transmission; detecting and eliminating infection early; improving on-farm biosecurity; and controlling high-risk animals."
Ireland faces escalating bovine tuberculosis (TB) levels and a new action plan will be launched to address the problem. The plan identifies five high-level measures: supporting herds free of TB to remain free; reducing wildlife-related transmission; detecting and eliminating infection early; improving on-farm biosecurity; and controlling high-risk animals. The measures combine prevention, wildlife management, enhanced surveillance for early detection, and targeted controls for animals that pose increased transmission risk. Implementation will focus on keeping infection out of TB-free herds while reducing sources and pathways of transmission to lower overall disease incidence.
