Implications of the European Union reference laboratory for bovine tuberculosis in the new mandatory text.
The new Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) 2016/429) on communicable diseases of animals, which was approved five years ago, will become applicable on the 21st of April 2021. This text, which modifies and repeals certain legislations in the field of animal health, simplifies the priorities in the prevention and eradication of diseases such as bovine tuberculosis.
The regulation also clarifies the responsibilities of all people working directly withanimals, such as farmers or veterinarians, and allows a greater use of new technologies in activities related to animal health, such as surveillance of pathogens and electronic identification or registration of animals.
