Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) support for farmers
Get help if you’re dealing with M. bovis on your farm.
At OSPRI, the health, wellbeing and welfare of farmers is our top priority. When we identify M. bovis in a cattle herd, we know it can cause both financial and emotional issues for farmers. Family, friends and trusted advisors can help get you through.
Case manager to provide guidance
If your farm is under a legal notice, we’ll assign a case manager to help guide you through the work we need to do on your farm. Our case manager will work with you to get you back to business as usual as quickly as possible.
They will visit you regularly and be your main point of contact when you have questions or need help.
