Bovine TB: Defra to focus on badger vaccination and cattle vaccine
27 May 2021 |
The government recently announced that bTB cattle vaccination trials had been given the green light
Badger vaccination, increased cattle testing and the development of a cattle vaccine will be accelerated as part of new government measures to eradicate bovine TB.
The licensing of new intensive badger culls, which helped reduce bTB rates by half in certain areas, will cease after 2022, Defra has confirmed today (27 May).
Existing cull licenses could be cut short after 2 years, down from 5 years, where supported by scientific evidence, and there will be no option for them to be renewed.

Defra is proposing an end to badger cull licences for new areas of England after 2022, as part of the next phase of its bovine TB eradication strategy.
The plan is among new measures included in a government consultation launched by Defra secretary George Eustice on Wednesday (27 January).
Defra is proposing to stop issuing intensive cull licences for new areas after 2022, and new licences could also be cut short after two or three years based on a review of the latest scientific evidence at that time.
Meanwhile, any new supplementary cull licences – which are granted in regions after intensive culls are complete – would be restricted to two years and would not be reissued afterwards.
