🐄 政府批准新计划：消灭牛结核病（bovine TB）

政府与牛肉、乳制品和鹿产业合作，计划在全国部分“热点地区”清除携带结核病的负鼠，以保护牲畜健康。

生物安全部长 Andrew Hoggard 表示：

🦡 重点目标：控制“传播源”负鼠

一项关于国家害虫管理计划的独立评估建议指出：

在以下地区必须清除感染结核病的负鼠：

• 中北岛部分地区
• 霍克湾（Hawke’s Bay）
• 奥塔哥（Otago）

只有这样，新西兰的畜牧业才能实现长期免疫保护。

🎯 政府已接受方案

Andrew Hoggard 表示：

政府已经接受该评估团队提出的方案。

🧫 核心策略：到2040年彻底清除TB

部长指出：

• 负鼠是牛结核病传播的主要媒介
• 一旦感染存在，就会不断感染牛、羊、鹿群

目标是：

👉 到 2040年彻底清除牲畜和负鼠中的结核病

---

📉 当前进展

目前新西兰的进展已经非常接近目标：

• 全国仅剩 16个感染牛群

部长称：

“这是几十年努力和持续投资取得的巨大成果，现在是完成最后阶段的时候。”

---

💰 资金安排

该计划资金维持：

• 每年 6000万纽币
• 农民承担 60%
• 政府承担 40%

---

🔄 管理方式调整

负责执行该计划的机构：

OSPRI New Zealand

将进行调整，包括：

• 从“全面检测”转向“重点区域监测”
• 利用数据与技术精准筛查
• 减少农场合规成本

---

🧭 政策评估与未来

政府已同意：

• 对计划进展进行持续评估
• 2031年后重新审查长期资金需求

---

🐄 行业影响

该计划影响整个畜牧业，包括：

• 奶牛业
• 肉牛业
• 鹿业

即使没有感染记录的农场也会受影响。

---

🌿 政策意义

部长强调：

• 只要结核病仍存在，就会持续威胁整个行业
• 清除目标越接近，未来农场运营成本越低

The Government, in partnership with the beef, dairy and deer industries, plans to knock out tuberculosis (TB)-infected possums in certain ‘hot spot’ parts of the country to protect herds, Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard says.

An independent review of the National Pest Management Plan for TB recommended that TB-infected possums must be cleared from a few areas of central North Island, Hawkes Bay and Otago before New Zealand’s livestock can be permanently protected from the disease.

Mr Hoggard says the Government has accepted the review team’s proposals.

“Possums are the main way TB spreads to farmed cattle and deer, so the new management plan will focus on eradicating it from both possums and livestock by 2040.

“We can’t get rid of bovine TB without getting rid of infected possums. If they remain, they will keep reinfecting our dairy, beef and deer herds,” says Mr Hoggard.

“We’re very close to achieving zero infected herds with just 16 herds nationwide. That’s an amazing achievement after decades of hard work by farmers and continued investment. Now we need to finish the job.”

Funding will stay at $60 million a year for the next five years, with farmers paying 60% and the Government 40%. To ensure sustainability of the programme after 2031, a review of progress against the plan and on-going term funding requirements has been agreed.

OSPRI, which administers the TBfree Plan, is making operational changes to support it, including switching from blanket TB testing to a more focused approach in surveillance areas.

“This will reduce compliance and costs for farmers, by using existing technology and data to focus testing where it’s most needed, to protect herds against further spread” Mr Hoggard says.

“I’m pleased that the governance group that conducted the review of the current TB plan carried out a thorough consultation on their proposals for change, including public meetings and webinars.

“The new plan affects the whole dairy, beef and deer sectors, even if individual farmers have never personally faced TB on their farms. 

“As long as TB is still present here, no matter how small the areas of infection, we are still farming with a big hurdle. The work we do now will make farming easier in the future.”
