The primary compensation scheme for farmers whose herds are affected by TB is the On-Farm Market Valuation Scheme under which compensation is payable for cattle removed as reactors. Entitlement to compensation is conditional on Herdowners/Keepers complying with the provisions of national/EU legislative requirements and controls. In relation to the herdowner in question, my Department has received the results of further testing carried out on his holding. This together with additional information that the herdowner has recently submitted, to address a number of management issues identified on his holding, are currently being assessed. Any compensation due will issue on completion of that assessment.
