6. Disease control<br />
A. <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> dairy herd Enzootic Bovine Leucosis (EBL) control scheme<br />
The EBL Control Scheme continued to screen more than 50% of dairy herds per annum. The <strong>2010</strong>/<strong>11</strong> dairy season signified the third<br />
consecutive year that <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> has successfully remained free of any evidence of EBL in the national dairy herd.<br />
Clearly there is no indication of re-emergence of EBL due to residual pockets or by reintroduction from the beef industry. Therefore herd<br />
monitoring levels will be reduced to between 1500 and 2000 herds in 20<strong>11</strong>/12. At the same time a review will be undertaken with<br />
stakeholders to determine the future direction of the EBL control scheme from 2012/13 onwards.<br />
The EBL Control Scheme is funded by <strong>Dairy</strong> NZ and operated by <strong>LIC</strong>.<br />
