A new report by the Irish Farm Accounts Co-operative (ifac) found the disease is costing Irish farmers €151.6m every year from labour, loss of production and fees. \ Philip Doyle
The Minister for Agriculture and farm organisations are attending a high-stakes meeting today to debate 30 new proposed TB eradication measures.
Among the controversial proposals are:
Mandatory whole-herd blood testing in herds with large breakdowns and herds over 60 cows where there are 10 reactors or more.
30-day pre-movement test to be introduced.
Restriction on sale of cows whose cohorts went down with TB.
TB-risk category to be displayed at point of sale.
No compensation for animals bought from herds that had a breakdown in the last five years.
A new IFA report this week has found that compliance with the current TB Eradication Programme is costing farmers over €150m every year.
