Scotland continues to enjoy Official TB Free Status and the benefits that that brings to the cattle industry. However, this does not mean that TB is not present in the cattle population and it remains an ever present potential biosecurity threat. We were delighted to have three expert speakers discuss TB in a Scottish context over the course of two webinars. Firstly Mick Park and Iain Bell from APHA who described trends, actions on confirmed cases and new opportunities for investigating the source and Sarah Tomlinson who is the TB Advisory Service Technical Director, veterinary lead and a key member of BCVA’s TB working group, who gave us an overview of an holistic approach to bovine TB.
