尽管支持关键的生物安全措施,但爱尔兰农民对牛结核病的根除仍有疑问,原因是野生动物的传播,延迟和成本. Irish farmers doubt bovine TB eradication due to wildlife spread, delays, and costs, despite supporting key biosecurity steps.

爱尔兰的ESRI研究发现,爱尔兰农民尽管知道官方的生物安保准则,但依然对防治牛粪肺结核持怀疑态度,这主要是由于野生动物传播的无助感、试验拖延和资金紧张。 A study by Ireland’s ESRI finds that Irish farmers remain skeptical about combating bovine TB despite knowing official biosecurity guidelines, largely due to feelings of helplessness from wildlife transmission, testing delays, and financial strain. 许多人认为,诸如保持封闭的牲畜群和检查牲畜购买历史等预防行动是有效的,但认为牧群内的措施影响较小。 Many believe preventive actions like keeping closed herds and checking cattle purchase histories are effective, but see within-herd measures as less impactful. 最令人怀疑的是,在十年内就根除了牛群,因为错误的捕捉不足和冒险购买牛群是关键障碍。 Most doubt eradication within a decade, citing insufficient badger culling and risky cattle purchases as key barriers. 80%以上支持在销售期间强制披露结核病历史。 Over 80% support mandatory disclosure of TB history during sales. 专家们建议从反复的指导转向基于证据的信息传递、同行接触和实际示范。 Experts recommend shifting from repeated guidance to evidence-based messaging, peer engagement, and practical demonstrations. 这些发现为爱尔兰的牛结核病行动计划提供了信息,该行动计划包括30项科学支持的行动. The findings are informing Ireland’s Bovine TB Action Plan, which includes 30 science-backed actions.
