‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Bovine Tuberculosis. Whole-herd testing before cattle movements
Summary
Durkan asked whether movement tests sometimes covered only cattle being moved, leaving the rest of a herd untested; the Minister said he had no evidence of this.
The Minister said that the test must be carried out prior to movement from a herd and I should like him to give information to the House on whether a number of herds have not had a test carried out on the entire herd. In other words, the test was carried out on only those likely to be moved with the result that some of the herd was not tested. Has the Minister any evidence of that?
