answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2017 answer text <p>Culled carcasses from between 2013 – 2016 were not routinely tested for TB as the RBCT established that approximately one-third of badgers in areas of high incidence of TB in cattle were infected. This year a pilot study was started to explore ways in which badger carcasses obtained from the cull potentially could be used to gather long term information on levels of disease in badgers. A number of carcasses from nine of the areas were sampled and testing methodologies are being piloted. It will be some time before any interim findings on this exploratory undertaking are available.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 20/04/2017 12:19:01 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
