About TBAS

The TB Advisory Service provides free advice on bovine TB to farmers in the High Risk and Edge Areas of England.

Cattle keepers can access bespoke, on-farm advice from an experienced TB Adviser through one-to-one farm visits where advisers can provide bespoke recommendations.

They also have a dedicated telephone helpline and provide “drop-in clinics” for farmers.

The project is funded through the Rural Development Programme for England.
