Bovine TB: Statistics
What is the incidence of bovine TB (bTB) in Great Britain?
The Government strategic framework
for the sustainable control of bovine tuberculosis for Great Britain
is structured around 12 strategic goals.
One of these goals, focused on effective cattle surveillance and control
of bTB, states that "surveillance information is published regularly
and is up to date".
The Strategic Framework also contains the commitment to "improve availability of information on bTB; raise awareness and understanding of bTB issues amongst all stakeholders."
In line with this, we publish provisional monthly reports detailing the latest bTB statistics for Great Britain. These statistics, amongst others, are accessible through the links below:
- Latest provisional detailed statistics (by region): 2008
- Detailed statistics (by region): 2006-2007
- Key herd / animal statistics (by county): 1998-2007
- Other bTB statistics
