There is research ongoing on vaccines in different spaces. The particular challenges for us, as an exporting nation, is that when you use the vaccine, whenever you test for TB, it is hard to identify if it is actually TB or the vaccine. That then becomes a challenge for us being able to export those animals. Since 90% of our animals are exported, that is a real difficulty. This is always being looked at but if we could find some way for a vaccine to work, it would make sense.
