A

First decide on whether need a reduction in the level of contamination of the organism or complete elimination of it.

Then a combo of one or more.....
1.	Minimise Contact
–	Movement controls, Farm, protection and surveillance zones.
–	Slaughter of individual animals (BSE)
–	Selective slaughter of affected animals or groups (TB)
–	Whole herd slaughter (FMD, TB)
–	Biosecurity
2.	Vaccination (bluetongue)
3.	Treatment (Warble Fly)
