The cow would pass the TB on to its milk and humans could catch if the milk wasn't treated. All cows that have TB have to be slaughtered and burned.

because the badgers have TB (Tuberculosis) and they pass it onto their cattle. If the badgers do get culled then the farmers won't have to worry as much about their cattle getting TB. Hope this has been helpful!! :)
Why is TB in cattle a problem?
TB affects the digestive system which makes animals eat less and gain less. TB can also affect the lungs, reproductive organs, lymph nodes, and central nervous system. The cost of treatment of TB in cattle is too costly and impractical, plus TB is very contagious so animals must be quarantined. All cattle that are tested positive for Tuberculosis and any other animals that came in contact with that TB-positive animal either directly or indirectly must all be humanely euthanized. Usually this involves having the WHOLE herd euthanized. That is why TB is a huge problem.

How do cattle contract tuberculosis from badgers?
British farmers and successive governments have long believed that bovine TB was being spread by badgers and infecting the national dairy herd, and since the 1970s badgers have been culled by gassing (now ceased) and shooting in attempts to prevent this spread. Tests carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture in the early 1970s showed that TB was more common in badgers than in other species. In the first Badger Act (1973), meant that licenses had to be issued for the killing of badgers. However, there are various other theories concerning the transmission of TB to cattle, and badger culling remains a contentious issue in the UK. Research into the specific mechanisms of how cattle contract bovine TB from badgers and into normal levels of transmission when culling is not practised is scanty.
