The numbers of reactors were as follows:
|
1962 |
1,295 |
|
1963 |
965 |
|
1964 |
618 |
|
1965 |
1,161 |
During that period all the animals in each of two herds were found to be reactors.
It would not be in accordance with the usual practice to give particulars of the numbers of animals and compensation paid, as the herds concerned could readily be identified.
