TB - Wales vs New Zealand

[Pumpkin18]

I am currently working on a piece of work for college that compares bovine by in Wales and New Zealand.
For part of the investigation I need to gather information on how tb has impacted the cattle industry (beef/dairy herds mainly) how tb is being dealt with in Wales and New Zealand and general opinions on the topic regarding effectiveness, how it has affected the agricultural industry as a whole.

Thanks, I'm looking for anyone that would be willing to talk about their experience of tb and how it affected them. Also if anyone knows of any websites or graphs that show the number of cases of tb in Wales and/or New Zealand please let me know.

Government departments work together, as possums not only spead TB but cause major damage to native trees too, as I have said before , good possum is dead possum.
From this side of the world, the lack of a coordinated TB control in the UK is a mystery, more so with the emotional debate being able to override commonsense in relation to badgers
