It poses no risk to the public or food safety
Isle of Man Creamery is reassuring customers after Bluetongue antibodies were identified in a herd of cattle on the Island.
The Creamery says the disease poses no risk to public health or food safety, and so milk and dairy products remain completely safe to consume.
Bluetongue is a viral disease affecting livestock like sheep, cattle and goats.
An 'all-Island Bluetongue restriction zone' has now been introduced with farmers on the Island advised to monitor their livestock for clinical signs of the disease.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is closely monitoring the situation and further testing and investigations are currently being undertaken to help protect the welfare of livestock on the Island.
