This badger welfare cost has to be balanced against the quantifiable cost-man power and financial, the efficiency of the methods selected, together with the non quantifiable and the welfare of the cattle and human, who are directly involved. Blood levels of paracetamol were 0.12-8.3 gm/L at 72-2 hours which did not correlate significantly with oral doses. Therefore, these prevalence values are likely to be under-estimates. The results of Defra's Road Traffic Accident survey, carried out in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire between 2002 and 2005, showed badger populations in all of the counties sampled were affected by bTB to some degree. Yet a 2006 review by the respected Cochrane Collaboration found that of seven previous studies comparing paracetamol with placebos, two found no difference in pain sensations, and the others found an improvement averaging 5%, an improvement the authors described as of questionable clinical significance. In its final recommendation last year, Nice performed a U-turn, reinstating its previous backing of paracetamol, pending the outcome of a broad review of over-the-counter painkillers by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, the results of which are due later this year. | Animal Liberation Diagnostics at Porton Down. source? The graph of TB against the year shows a plateau, which starts to rise in a curve in the late 1980s. The money saved should be ring fenced for culling expenses.
