England launches co-designed bovine TB strategy
06 July 2026
This recommended strategy sets out a clear, practical plan to achieve Officially
Bovine TB-Free status in England by 2038. It focuses on what will make the
biggest difference on farm: reducing TB in cattle, reducing the risk of spread
between herds, and giving farmers and vets better tools and information to stay
ahead of the disease. It is grounded in science, but designed to work in the real
world.
