Is there any relationship between cats and the Bovis bacteria/ Possibly in cat feces? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.92.202.64 (talk) 15:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

in http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/letters/letters-food-waste-863016.html, 9 July 2008, Dr F W Kirkham asks, speaking of the UK: "For example, why is TB five times more common in dairy cows than in beef cattle, and three times more common in dairy herds than in mixed beef and dairy herds? Why is TB incidence positively related to multiple site ownership? Why is TB incidence significantly lower under "conservation-friendly" cattle management than under intensive farming?

Are cattle being fed a diet deficient in trace elements such as selenium, that are essential for maintaining an animal's immune system? And to what extent are the low levels of these elements in the soils of the South-west compared to other areas implicated in the high incidence of TB in the region?

Has the intensive breeding of dairy cattle for maximum milk production at the expense of body condition produced animals with increased susceptibility to disease infection? "

Does anyone have pointers to published papers describing these effects? It would be good to include them if we can find an unbiassed source.
