View answerThe On Farm Market Valuation Scheme is the principal compensation measure available to farmers who experience a TB outbreak in their herd.
The named herd-owner entered a TB restriction on 9th October 2023 having disclosed one reactor animal on a 30 day post movement test. The affected animal was purchased by the named herd-owner on 4th October 2023. This animal was subsequently removed for slaughter on 27th October 2023.
Payment in respect of this reactor animal is currently being processed at the Regional Veterinary Office and will be issued to the herd owner in the coming days.
