Description

APHA has a critical role in the control and eradication of endemic and infectious diseases, most notably bovine tuberculosis (TB). The Government is committed to eradicating bovine TB to support the food and farming industry and reducing costs for farmers and taxpayers. TB testing and Reactor Removal plays a crucial role in identifying infected herds and controlling TB, thus helping to reduce further spread of the disease.On-Farm Kill services are primarily required for TB reactors but may be required for animals affected by other diseases or welfare issues, which are unfit to be transported to a slaughterhouse and/or enter the food chain. This may include (but is not limited to) farmed animals during the last 10% of gestation, those that are lame, or are unfit to enter the food chain due to being under the drug withdrawal period, or Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) suspect animals.
