Mycoplasma bovis: Cattle cull just the start - vet
The Ministry for Primary Industries has stepped up its efforts to control a cattle disease that started on one farm near Timaru in July 2017 and is now infecting 28. It has directed affected farmers to cull more than 20,000 cattle in an effort to halt the spread of mycoplasma bovis. A vet says it's a good start but won't eradicate the disease completely.
