The TB Advisory Service is a DEFRA funded project that offers FREE, bespoke, practical and cost-effective advice to all eligible farmers in England to help reduce the risks associated with TB.

Your adviser will ask about your farm set up, the concerns you currently have regarding TB, and issues you may face in the future. If you have a Farm Level Data Pack from APHA, it would be useful to share this with the adviser. They will then have a walk around your farm buildings and fields to better understand your current situation. Throughout the visit the adviser will identify potential areas where TB risk could be eliminated or reduced discussing why these are risks and how you can control them. At the end of the visit you and your adviser will agree on four recommendations you can carry out.

There will be a second visit three – six months later to assess what recommendations have been concluded and what was involved in completing them including the time and monetary costs associated with each.

To book in a TBAS visit with one of our vets please call us on 01477 571000.
