The Control of Sheep Scab and Bovine Tuberculosis in the Dartmoor National Park

摘要

The Dartmoor National Park comprises (i) the large areas of unenclosed common land which support semi-natural, upland vegetation (moorland) grazed by populations of cattle, sheep and ponies; (ii) the surrounding farmland, to which grazing rights on common land are attached; and (iii) smaller areas of woodland habitat which provide shelter and browse for ponies. Sheep, cattle and ponies in flocks and herds with traditional common grazing rights are moved between the common land and farmland in the National Park for husbandry purposes.
