The percentage of susceptible farm-animals culled due to the disease in GB. This included all farm-animals of susceptible species that were slaughtered. For the viral diseases this was comprised of the animals diseased and culled for control purposes; for anthrax by the diseased animals; and for bTB by the animals detected as being infected and therefore assumed to be subsequently slaughtered. The species counted as susceptible were: pigs for Aujeszky's disease, CSF and SVD; cattle for bTB; cattle, sheep and pigs for anthrax and FMD; and all farmed poultry for NDV and HPAI.
