Abstract
The risk of a confirmed tuberculous herd restriction was examined using a
logistic model for herds involved in the East Offaly Badger Research Project,
Ireland, from 1988–1995. Cattle herds present in the badger-removal area had a
significantly lower proportion of new confirmed tuberculous herd restrictions
compared with cattle from an area where no systematic badger removal was
attempted.
