I welcome the representatives from Teagasc. I will first start with the veterinary medicines side focusing specifically on antiparasitic resistance, that is, where the parasite has resistance to the drug. In its opening statement, Teagasc states that these pathogens are estimated to cost €240 million annually. Is that figure based on a loss from resistant pathogens or pathogens in general in the herd?
