What is bovine TB?
Bovine TB is a chronic infectious disease primarily affecting cattle, caused by a bacterium. It can lead to severe health problems in animals and is a major concern for the agricultural industry. The disease can also spread to other mammals, including badgers, which complicates efforts to control it in livestock.
