Consultation on Controlling TB
Wales’ Rural Affairs Minister, Elin Jones, is urging animal keepers and owners to respond to the Assembly Government’s consultation on new proposals to control TB in camelids, goats and deer before it closes on 11 November.

The proposals aim to ensure incidents of TB in camelids, goats and deer are managed in a similar to way to TB in cattle is.

Rural Affairs Minister Elin Jones said: “We have already received a good response to the consultation but it is important that all those with an interest in the proposed order submit comments before the 12-week public consultation ends on 11 November 2010.

“We are relying on those with practical experience of keeping these animals to give us the benefit of their knowledge and expertise in commenting on the proposed legislative order.  This will help us to shape the legislation so that it is effective in helping us to tackle this disease and has the support of stakeholders.”

The consultation document is available here.
