actions that directly address the risks identified. This work shall also support and
encourage positive behavioural change by engaging farmers in the assessment process,
increasing understanding of disease risks, and promoting the sustained adoption of
improved biosecurity practices.
The bTB biosecurity advice programme is a voluntary scheme for farmers, the Supplier
must promote and provide an accessible and user friendly mechanism, by phone and
online, through which farmers can register their interest and request an on-farm visit.
