AR-News: (UK) Farm In Cornwall Hit By Brucellosis

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

THE Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has imposed 
precautionary movement restrictions on eight neighbouring livestock holdings in South 
East Cornwall following an outbreak of brucellosis in a beef suckler herd.
Preliminary test results have shown that five animals in the single suspect 
herd may have the notifiable disease, which causes abortions in cattle.
The 38-cow herd, near Liskeard, has been under restriction since unexplained 
abortions were reported in the herd earlier this month.
