DESCRIPTION:In 1997 the so-called Krebs Report recommended a randomized fi
 eld trial be undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of badger culling as
  a method of reducing bovine TB incidence in cattle herds.  The Randomised
  Badger Culling Trial was carried out in 30 100-sq-km areas. Along with re
 lated studies\, it provided insights into several epidemiological aspects 
 of the multi-species disease system.  The coalition government is currentl
 y seeking views on its proposal to include badger culling as a component o
 f a science-led policy to control bovine TB.
