Bovine TB: Pregnant cows will no longer be slaughtered on farm

Pregnant cows that test positive for tuberculosis will no longer have to be slaughtered on farms.

Farmers are now able to choose to delay the slaughter of infected cows or heifers that are expected to have calves within 60 days, or who have had calves in the past seven days.

Before the change, cattle infected with TB were slaughtered on-farm as they were not able to travel due to welfare grounds.

Farming unions have welcomed the announcement.

Rural Affairs Secretary Huw Irranca-Davies made the announcement on a visit to Rhadyr Farm, Usk which has been affected by a TB breakdown.

Andrew Williams, who has farmed there since 2002, said: “We’ve been down with TB for 13 years now and we’ve had to send cattle off for slaughter.”
