4 farmers’ badger-proofing inventions help cut TB risk >More in
Some of the winners in the 2021 inaugural TB Advisory Service Awards told
Farmers Weekly about their inventions.
This height-adjustable creep feeder was designed to prevent badgers from accessing feed.
Mr Hughes, of Newton Farm, Leintwardine, Shropshire, designed the feeder after a TB breakdown in his father’s 40-cow suckler herd.

“I did a lot of research and there was a lot of evidence that one of the biggest causes of TB transmission between badgers and cattle was through the feed,’’ he says.
