TB Prevention Products

Practical, Effective & Welfare‑Focused Solutions for Reducing Bovine TB Risk

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) remains one of the most challenging disease threats facing UK cattle farms. With increasing pressure on herd health, productivity and compliance, farmers are turning to practical, farm‑ready solutions that help reduce the risk of disease transmission from wildlife and between livestock groups.

Our range of TB Prevention Products is designed to support everyday biosecurity, minimise contamination risks and create safer feeding environments for cattle of all ages.

Why TB Prevention Products Matter

From innovative badger-exclusion feeding systems such as the TB Buster to secure, hygienic cattle feeding solutions like the Universal Creep Feeder, these products help farmers strengthen their TB prevention strategy while maintaining high standards of welfare and efficiency.

Bovine TB spreads through direct contact, contaminated feed, shared water sources and wildlife intrusion—particularly from badgers. Effective TB prevention relies on reducing these risk points through:

  • Wildlife‑proof feeding systems
  • Cleaner, more controlled feeding environments
  • Reduced nose‑to‑nose contact between cattle and wildlife
  • Improved hygiene around feed and water sources
  • Better separation of age groups, especially youngstock
  • Enhanced biosecurity across the farm

By integrating TB prevention products into daily management, farmers can significantly reduce exposure risks and support long‑term herd health.

TB Buster – Wildlife‑Proof Feeding for Safer Cattle Management

The TB Buster is one of the most effective tools available for reducing the risk of TB transmission at feeding sites. Designed specifically to prevent badgers from accessing cattle feed, it helps break a key pathway for the spread of disease.

 

Key Features of the TB Buster

  • Badger‑proof design that prevents wildlife access
  • Raised feeding platform to keep feed clean and uncontaminated
  • Heavy‑duty steel construction for long‑term durability
  • Suitable for concentrates, minerals and supplementary feed
  • Easy access for cattle while excluding wildlife
  • Stable, secure structure suitable for field or yard use

By preventing badgers from feeding alongside cattle, the TB Buster reduces risk of contamination and supports a cleaner, safer feeding environment.

Benefits for TB Prevention

  • Minimises indirect contact between cattle and wildlife
  • Reduces contamination of feed with saliva, urine or faeces
  • Supports compliance with TB‑focused biosecurity recommendations
  • Helps protect youngstock and adult cattle alike

The TB Buster is a practical and proven solution for farms in high‑risk or edge‑area TB zones.

Universal Creep Feeder – Safe, Controlled Feeding for Cattle

Youngstock are particularly vulnerable to disease challenges, and protecting them from TB exposure is essential for long‑term herd health. The Universal Creep Feeder provides a secure and controlled feeding environment that helps reduce contamination and wildlife access.

 

Key Features of the Universal Creep Feeder

  • Adjustable creep gates to allow calf‑only access
  • Robust galvanised steel construction
  • Weather‑resistant design suitable for indoor or outdoor use
  • Large feed capacity for efficient calf rearing
  • Stable, secure frame to prevent tipping
  • Easy‑fill hopper for fast, efficient feeding

By restricting access to calves only, the Universal Creep Feeder helps maintain cleaner feed and reduces the risk of wildlife contamination.

Benefits for TB Prevention

  • Prevents badgers and adult cattle from accessing calf and cattle feed
  • Reduces contamination risk at feeding points
  • Supports healthier, more consistent calf growth
  • Helps maintain a clean, controlled feeding environment

This feeder is ideal for dairy and beef farms looking to improve youngstock biosecurity.
