A united effort to address the volatility facing the agricultural sector is key to ensuring the UK can feed its growing population, the opening day of NFU’s annual conference heard
Cheshire farmers have demanded Defra accompanies stricter cattle TB controls in the county with a comprehensive programme to test badgers for the disease.
The NFU has accused opponents of the badger cull of misleading the public with a poster campaign which carries the strapline: ‘Over 12,000 badgers already killed’.
Defra has announced a further ramping up of bovine TB cattle controls in England, including the introduction of cross compliance penalties for any overdue TB test from January 1.
An evaluation report on the Cymorth TB pilot, carried out in Wales between October 2013 and May 2014 to evaluate possible enhanced roles for private vets in the management of TB breakdowns and how they could support farmers, has been broadly welcomed by the Welsh Government.
The Gloucestershire pilot badger cull achieved a reduction of nearly 40 per cent in badger numbers over more than 11 weeks of culling, Defra Secretary Owen Paterson has revealed.
Farmers will shoulder more of the cost burden and take on more of the responsibility for managing the disease under a comprehensive new bovine TB strategy for England.
