Plans for taking forward these priorities are described in more detail in Defra‘s five year strategy (Delivering the Essentials of Life), which was published in 2004. However it should be noted that Defra was undergoing a strategy refresh focusing on the mission of ‗one planet living‘ at the time of this review. 3. The Animal Health and Welfare Strategy for Great Britain The Animal Health and Welfare Strategy for Great Britain, was published in 2004, with the overall aim of ‗developing a new partnership to make a lasting and continuous improvement in the health and welfare of kept animals, while protecting society, the economy, and the environment from the effect of animal diseases‘. To bring about this aim, the following strategic outcomes were identified: 1. Working in partnership 2. Promoting the benefits of animal health and welfare, particularly emphasising prevention is better than cure 3. Ensuring a clearer understanding of the costs and benefits of animal health and welfare practices 4. Understanding and accepting roles and responsibilities 5. Delivering and enforcing animal health and welfare standards effectively. 4. The FBZ research programme The FBZ research programme forms part of a wider body of research on animal health and welfare. This research portfolio is managed on behalf of the Chief Veterinary Officer and is closely associated with the FBZ policy division to which it provides a substantial part of the evidence base. From the current Animal Health and Welfare research portfolio, approximately 6% of the budget is allocated to the FBZ research programme (Figure 1). 6
Figure 1. Spend on Animal Health and Welfare research against policy area for 2007/2008 To note: approx. £3million pa of the total budget are sourced directly from policy programmes, including £2million of the TB spend and £1million of the Veterinary Training and Research Initiative (VTRI) spend. The FBZ research programme covers research projects on non-notifiable zoonotic diseases. Zoonoses are defined by the World Health Organisation (OIE) as "Diseases and infections which are naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and man". Between 2002 and 2007, the programme has included research on Salmonella species; E. coli O157; Campylobacter species; Yersinia enterocolitica; Cryptosporidium species; and Bovine neosporosis. Key themes within diseases include diagnostics, intervention strategies, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and source identification. It should be noted that though Salmonella is non-notifiable disease, it is ‗reportable‘. This means that should it be detected in samples tested in a laboratory, this must be reported to the local Veterinary Laboratories Agency (VLA) laboratory (In England and Wales), and to the local Divisional Veterinary Manager in Scotland. The rationale for funding research on FBZ is set out in the policy and scientific objectives of the research defined below: 7
