TB levels in cattle herds drop to lowest recorded level

TB levels in cattle herds have fallen to their lowest recorded level, according to a new report in the Farmers Journal.

Full-year figures for 2015 show a marked decline in the percentage of herds that have been infected and the number of individual TB cases detected.

The improvement over the past decade, is reducing the cost to both farmers and Department of Agriculture in combating the disease.
