AI insight

AI-generated

The policy shift from culling to vaccination affects UK cattle farmers and the dairy/beef supply chain. The mechanism is regulatory: reduced culling may increase TB prevalence in cattle short-term, raising livestock losses and compliance costs for farmers. However, the impact is weak and long-term, with no immediate price or supply shock. The commercial mechanism is not strong enough to drive sector-wide margin changes.
