Vol. 376 No. 10

Written Answers. - Hormone Growth Promoters Ban.

35.

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the advice he can give beef producers who are at a serious loss this year due to the banning of hormone growth promoters.

Individual cattle producers have considerable scope to mitigate any adverse effects of the ban on the use of hormone growth promoters in cattle by adopting improved management practices, including breed selection. Any farmers who are in doubt regarding the measures appropriate in their individual circumstances should consult their local ACOT advisers.
