How 'good bugs' added to cattle feed could reduce the risk of E coli. Can UK chicken farmers meet supermarkets' buy British pledge in the wake of Horsegate? With Charlotte Smith.
How 'good bugs' added to cattle feed could reduce the risk of E.coli. The Food Standards Agency in Scotland says the idea, along with vaccination, should be investigated. Also in the programme: can UK chicken farmers meet supermarkets' buy British pledge in the wake of Horsegate? Charlotte Smith asks the British Poultry Council. Landowners have been given special dispensation to use a banned chemical to control bracken. And, the domestic life of the Brecon Buff goose.
Presented by Charlotte Smith. Produced by Sarah Swadling.
