How OSPRI manage the outbreak of Tuberculosis in cattle and deer farms across northern Hawke’s Bay
The Hawke’s Bay area northwest of Napier has seen a significant increase in TB infected herds since April 2019. OSPRI (a partnership between primary industries and government) identified TB in possums, deer and farmed cattle in the area, and DNA testing indicates the TB outbreak originated in possums. In this lecture, Rhea McColl will describe the outbreak and how OSPRI has been – and still are – dealing with it.
