Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to reduce the incidence of chlamydial abortion in sheep.
This question was answered on 26th April 2018
Chlamydial abortion is endemic in the UK. We have made a commitment in the 25 Year Environment Plan to support industry to reduce the impact of endemic livestock diseases. Decisions on which diseases to prioritise will be taken forward in consultation with industry. Farmers can already control chlamydial abortion through good biosecurity and vaccination.
