latform
- Completing the business analysis including looking at other areas of the business that use the data such as epidemiology and data science/modelling
- Agreeing a robust access policy for the data, including what can be shared externally
- Establish mechanism to replicate data from source systems into a cloud environment
- Implement a production version of modern reporting tool
The initial focus will be on the generation of reports for each farm, summarising disease history and animal movements for each property to support farmers and external vets in making better decisions at the farm level. The mechanisms we implement for this will allow us to make significant leaps in other areas
This is an excellent opportunity for APHA to move into a smarter and more up-to-date way of treating its data as a key asset, and establishing a single source of information that can be used quickly and flexibly. I’m excited by the possibilities this piece of work could bring to bTB control and prevention, and also how we can use and apply the learning and principles more widely in other areas of APHA.

Great to see the farm TB data pack being delivered and the prospect for even greater transformation in our use of data to understand bovine TB risks.
