**Farmers Guardian Reports Record Badger Vaccinations, Award-Winning Journalism, and Industry Concerns**

**Preston, England –** Farmers Guardian, a leading source for agricultural news, is reporting a significant increase in badger vaccinations against TB. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) revealed that a record high of 24%, or 4,110 badgers, were vaccinated last year as part of the government’s ongoing effort to increase vaccination rates and phase out badger culls.

The publication also announced that one of its journalists recently won an award for a review of an electric compact loader.

Meanwhile, other prominent stories highlighted on the Farmers Guardian website include calls for action from the Scottish and Welsh governments following Defra’s England-wide restriction zone, and an urgent appeal from Nigel Bennet of Roam Technology, for pig producers to complete a survey regarding the impact of the zinc oxide ban on piglet health. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) has announced a measure to enable farmers to move livestock without requiring tests.
