Researchers consider herd movements to help eradicate bovine TB
In 2008, the U.S. Department of Agriculture spent $31 million to depopulate herds of cattle affected by bovine tuberculosis (TB), even though the risk of the disease has been significantly reduced in the U.S. over the past several decades. Worldwide, especially in developing countries, the disease...Shambu With Bovine TB Being Prevented from Slaughter
It is a bull otherwise destined for the abattoir, especially because it is afflicted with bovine TB.

MANHATTAN, KAN. -- Bovine respiratory disease complex has multiple causes. It's sometimes hard to classify and predict. It also costs the beef industry more than any other disease -- an estimated $690 million in 2006, according to one report. That's why a team of Kansas State University researc...How badger culling creates conditions for spread of bovine TB
