Second case of bluetongue confirmed in UK

A surveillance zone has been put in place to monitor bluetongue after a second animal was found to have contracted the disease at the British farm where the UK's first case of the disease was discovered.

The cow at the Baylham House Rare Breeds Farm, near Ipswich, Suffolk, was slaughtered after the discovery was made by vets, the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said.
