This series includes the accredited official statistic publications on tuberculosis (TB) in cattle (bovine TB) in each of the three countries in Great Britain: England, Scotland, Wales. The statistics are reported at the county level for all countries, at the TB risk area level for England, and at the TB area level for Wales. It is important to note that TB control is a devolved policy, and as such control policies differ across the three countries as outlined in the releases and supplementary material. The interactive dashboard here is another way of viewing the statistics by county and risk area.

Our Bovine TB in cattle in Great Britain user feedback survey ran in June and July 2020. We have published our response to the comments received.

Additional statistics relating to bovine TB are available from the National Archive.
