Updated: Updated to include figures for May 2013.
This monthly publication gives the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in cattle (ie bovine TB) in Great Britain. The statistics are obtained from the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency work management IT support system, which is used for the administration of TB testing in GB. They are a snapshot of the position on the date on which the data were extracted. The information is subject to regular revision until all test results are available.
More detailed statistics for GB, England, Scotland, Wales and the English regions are provided in the accompanying spreadsheets.
