Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion

Dr. Orla Keane:

The proposal, or what was envisaged under the targeted advisory service on animal health, TASAH, scheme in operation at the moment is that a parasite control plan for the year would be planned out as part of a wider herd health plan. Parasite control would obviously form a part of that and there may be specific considerations within that. There will be limits to how targeted it can be if it is done once per year.
