Badger removal programme on tb in Irish cattle
Journal Preventive Veterinary Medicine - Volume 34, Issue 1 , 6 February 1998, Pages 47-56 Abstract The risk of a confirmed tuberculous herd restriction was examined using a logistic model for herds involved in the East Offaly Badger Research Project, Ireland, from 1988–1995. Cattle herds present in the badger-removal area had a significantly lower proportion of new confirmed tuberculous herd restrictions compared with cattle from an area where no systematic badger removal was attempted.
