Show Notes
In a blow to New Zealand farmers everywhere, MPI discovered Mycoplasma bovis in Canterbury's Selwyn.
It's just months after the announcement the country had no known cases of the cattle disease.
A standard bulk tank-milk background screening picked up the infection.
The Country's Jamie Mackay says the news that 1000 dairy cows will have to be culled will be devastating for the farmer impacted.
