          SUVA, May 9 (Xinhua) -- Fiji faces a shortage of fresh milk supply from dairy farmers since the recent outbreak of Tuberculosis (TB).

          Fiji Dairy Limited confirmed Thursday that there is a shortage of supply of milk from local farmers and has caused the recent shortage of Rewa Life Milk in local supermarkets.

          According to Fijivillage website, Fiji Dairy Limited said that the recent Tuberculosis outbreak in dairy cattle has impacted the supply of milk from local farmers.

          Fiji's Ministry of Agriculture had tested 33,839 cattle for Bovine Tuberculosis and more than 1,000 cattle tested positive.

          Minister for Agriculture Mahendra Reddy said the government has recruited five veterinarians who are working to actively pursue the eradication of TB and Brucellosis in beef and dairy cattle.

          A total of 262 dairy farmers currently supply milk under the Fiji Cooperative Dairy Company Limited while there are over 100 other dairy farmers who conduct their own operations.
