Animal Health Board Electronic Tendering

The Animal Health Board's mission is to eradicate bovine tuberculosis (Tb) from New Zealand, in order to protect New Zealand's access to export markets for dairy, beef and deer products.

It was formed specifically for this purpose, and is legally responsible for managing and implementing the National Pest Management Strategy for Bovine Tb.

The Animal Health Board (AHB) is a non-profit making incorporated society, made up of representatives from the farming sector and local government.

Key functions include:

Vector Control
The major cause of Tb in cattle and deer herds in New Zealand is contact with wild vectors of the disease. Vector control, mainly aimed at possums and ferrets, is the key to Tb control in NZ.
Disease Control
Disease control includes all measures to detect and eradicate Tb within cattle and deer herds, and to prevent transmission of the disease through the movement of infected livestock.
Research and Communications
Research carried out by the AHB is mainly aimed at achieving short term improvements in existing disease and vector control technology. AHB carries out national and local communications to support the implementation of vector and disease control programmes.
