Tuberculosis in Goats
You may have heard via the media that
an outbreak of TB has been discovered in goats. The source of the
outbreak appears to be a Golden Guernsey herd in North
Carmarthenshire. Carmarthenshire is unfortunately a hot spot for
bovine TB and the herd in question was already being dispersed by
the owner. DEFRA and the Welsh Assembly Government have been tracing
the goats that had been sold on and contacts are being appropriately
dealt with.
We strongly advise that every member
