Andrew Hoggard: Biosecurity Minister on the trial of New Zealand's response to foot and mouth disease

New Zealand is about to test its readiness for foot and mouth disease with a farm simulation next month on a Taranaki farm.  It'll be followed by a national exercise including everything from mock on-farm detection, quarantine, and national governance decisions.  Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard says it's one thing to have a plan on paper and another to actually carry it out.   He told Ryan Bridge other countries have managed to effectively contain it.   Hoggard says in Germany it was kept at a single farm and still meant exports could go ahead from the rest of the country.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
