View answerControlled Finishing Units (CFUs) as part of the bovine TB Eradication Programme are subject to enhanced biosecurity measures and can only sell direct to slaughter.
Data in respect of animals from CFUs slaughtered, as well as other data, are published and regularly updated on the Department's section of the gov.ie website. See the link below for the current figures available. It should be noted that data is currently available up to April 2022.
