Download M. bovis: Alternative Data Sources

This is one of several Mycoplasma bovis Science Programme research projects to support the eradication of the cattle disease M. bovis, reduce the impact of the disease, and leave New Zealand’s biosecurity system stronger.

The Alternative Data Sources project used stock truck movement to provide an additional source of cattle movement information to supplement NAIT (National Animal Identification and Tracing scheme) data. It provides additional information about regional, seasonal and production cattle movement patterns and will contribute to understanding animal movement patterns. This study was carried out by Onside.
