news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6994782.stmCattle which were culled from a second farm in Egham, Surrey, have tested positive for foot-and-mouth disease, the government's chief vet has said. A "precautionary" cull of animals had already taken place at Stroude Farm, owned by Ernest Ward. It is close to the scene of Wednesday's outbreak, and is located 10 miles from the Pirbright research complex. The site was blamed as the source for the foot-and-mouth outbreaks at two farms last month. Debbie Reynolds, the government's chief vet, confirmed that foot-and-mouth was present at the farm She added there had now been four infected farms since the initial outbreak of the disease last month. Ms Reynolds said she was glad that all the animals on the farm had been culled before the results were announced. She also said the government was considering whether to allow animals in England to be moved to slaughter.
