: Badgers were trapped under a Natural England Science and Conservation licence (licence reference covering the period of this study: 2020-47090-SCI-SCI-1). Cage traps used for capture were of an approved design under the AIHTS (Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards) regulations (EU CitationRef removed). Consultation on the use of the livestock markers in field trials took place with the APHA Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Board (AWERB) and the UK regulatory authority (Home Office), and relevant approvals were obtained prior to the commencement of field trials.
