Tighter control measures to reduce the risk of bovine TB spreading between cattle have been introduced in England.
Ten more counties have been put on an annual testing list by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
The remaining counties will be placed on four-yearly testing.
Agriculture Minister David Heath said: "We need to stop the spread of bovine TB, which led to the slaughter of 26,000 cattle last year alone."
