Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 June 2021
581. Deputy Brian Leddin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of cases of mastitis recorded per 100 dairy cows in Ireland annually from 2011 to 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34250/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe incidence of clinical mastitis in dairy cattle varies widely, due to differences in a range of factors including climate, level of production and management.
Mastitis is a disease that farmers are not obligated to report to the Department and, therefore, the data requested in relation to mastitis cases recorded at farm level is not available.
