Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA)

The Animal and Plant Health Agency, commonly known as APHA, is involved in significant efforts to address and manage epidemiological concerns in collaboration with the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA). This partnership is crucial in ensuring the health and safety of animal and plant-related industries, including the dairy sector.

Collaboration with DEFRA

APHA is actively working with DEFRA to track the ongoing epidemiological situation. This collaboration aims to provide comprehensive monitoring and response strategies to any potential health threats that could impact the dairy industry and other related sectors.

Review and Response

As part of its ongoing efforts, APHA will review its response strategies as more evidence and data become available. This proactive approach is designed to adapt to new information and ensure that necessary measures are in place to protect the industry.
