A TB test failure can be one of the most devastating things to happen to a farm business. The stress and anxiety that comes with a breakdown cannot be underestimated; loss of control of your “normal” business, impact on cattle movements, loss of stock and the extra testing.

However, TB is such a long-standing issue in British farming that over the years many myths have developed. Understanding the history of TB, the science of the disease, and the politics forming TB policy, can help you to deal with the disease practically on farm.

There are things every farmer can do to reduce the length of a TB breakdown or the chance of one happening in the first place. If the worst should happen there are practical things you can put in place to minimise the impact TB reactors can have on your business. We all hope TB will not affect our farms but understanding the disease could massively decrease the chance of a breakdown, the impacts it could have on the business and the health and welfare of the farm team.
