Federated Farmers says reaching a point where there are no current infections and no properties under investigation is a significant milestone in efforts to eradicate M.Bovis.
The last known property in the country with M.Bovis has been declared disease free.
Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor said this takes New Zealand to zero confirmed infections.
