90. Bovine TB, detection, protection and control
Prof Glyn Hewinson
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has been described as the most pressing animal health challenge facing Wales.
The disease has a significant financial and social impact on farm businesses and the wider rural community.
Bovine TB is very costly to Government in terms of the cost of control programme and compensation to keepers whose animals are slaughtered because of bovine TB.
The Centre of Excellence for Bovine Tuberculosis (CBTB) is backed by Sêr Cymru II, a Welsh Government, EU (ERDF) and University funded programme to grow and develop academic research expertise in Wales.
The Centre of Excellence for Bovine Tuberculosis (CBTB) for Wales provides expert independent advice to Welsh Government on the control of bTB and increase capacity for livestock research in Wales through the establishment of state-of-the-art veterinary research laboratories.
