My Department provides financial support measures for farmers under the Bovine Viral Diarrhoea programme (BVD). Payment is contingent on disposal of all PI animals born in the herd within timeframes set down in the Terms and Conditions.

An application for compensation under the scheme has been submitted to my Department by the herdowner concerned. The closing date for receipt of applications for financial supports was 4 March 2016. These applications will be processed shortly and payment of any supports due will be made in due course.
