A third farm has been found to be infected with the cattle disease M-Bovis as authorities work to eradicate an outbreak that began five years ago.

The Ministry for Primary Industries says the property is in mid-Canterbury and the disease was confirmed during routine testing.

Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers David Acland is still confident this is the tail end of the outbreak.

He spoke to Corin Dann.
