Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Nitrates Derogation and Nitrates Action Programme: Discussion

Mr. Bill Callanan:

On the farm, but not for banding. We have a table of an excretion factor for every single animal type, from broiler chickens to deer, to lowland and upland sheep, and various ages of beef, including sucklers, dairy, and various different categories based on scientific work. If there are in-calf heifers on the farm, they will be counted towards the overall stocking rate but not towards the banding rate. It is just cows and milk.
