The Healthy Badgers - Healthy Cattle project has developed from an understanding of the activity of badgers living in proximity to TB positive cattle herds. Many farms with cattle include parcels of land separated by land in other ownership. It is important to recognise the need to work with areas of land rather than individual farms because a single community of badgers can be expected to influence TB in cattle owned by several farmers.
AGMED – The Institute of Agricultural Medicine & Rehabilitation is a charity dedicated to education, information and research.
