So Mr Paterson, what are you going to do about this then ? How did TB infected cattle get to this farm in the first place ? Its obvious that the bio-security measures imposed by the EU have not been adhered too ... *** A spokesman added: “The herd has been placed under movement restrictions, and a number of animals have been removed for slaughter after reacting to the skin test. “It is believed that the infection was inadvertently carried in cattle bought from a high risk area of the country, where cases of bovine TB are much more prevalent. TB testing of neighbouring holdings within a three kilometre radius is underway. “Bovine TB can have a devastating effect on farm businesses, which is why there are strict measures to control it.” *** PS... there is nothing inadvertent about this, someone just didnt do their job correctly ...
