M. bovis update
A dairy farm in Selwyn has been confirmed infected with Mycoplasma bovis this week after it was first identified by standard Bulk Tank Milk background screening. The find is unsurprising as the programme expected to identify more infected properties during spring testing, and it does not undermine progress toward eradication. The eradication programme is working with the farmer on a plan to depopulate the farm and undertaking tracing of animal movements on and off the farm. This work will help identify the likely source of the infection and any other farms it may have moved to. As with previous Confirmed Properties, it is likely the number of farms under movement restrictions will increase over the next few weeks as the programme looks for any possible infection.
