TUBERCULOSIS IN DAIRY CATTLE Adapted and reprinted with permission from Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. 361 Tuberculosis of Farm Animals Tuberculosis is a fairly common cattle disease in New Zealand. It threatens not only the herds, but when milk is drunk on farms it may also affect the health of farmers and their families. Tuberculosis is relatively rare in run cattle and in self-contained home-herds in the more lightly stocked districts. It is less frequent in calves and yearlings than in cows; in fact in most cases cattle become infected only after they enter the milking herd. The main cause of infection in cattle is the presence in the herd of so-called “open” cases which are spreading infection widely.
