Thread: TB control in Molesworth

One issue @Tahr is that bTb is actually not a trade issue and has not been for decades. Two things;- firstly, many of the countries we export meat to have endemic bTb. Secondly, all our meat is inspected and any carcass with identified bTb is rejected from export production processes: - However those bTb carcasses are trimmed clear of any bTb and distributed to our local consumers domestic butcher markets (us).
Lastly; bTb in properly cooked meat is not infectious.

Isolation of bTb infected farms for a period of fallow combined with slaughter of infected stock would end the problem and at billions less cost than is presently the case.
