published 4 November 2008

Bovine TB eradication group is being set up to make recommendations to Government about Bovine TB.

Defra's Food and Farming group, the NFU, CLA and other animal health and farming groups will be represented in the Bovine TB eradication group, which will be run by Defra. The exact make-up of the group is still to be finalised, according to the CLA.

The Bovine TB eradication group will review the current TB strategy, study methods to control the spread of Bovine TB, and consider options to vaccinate cattle and badgers.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
