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 complying with the provisions of National and EU legislative requirements and controls relating to animal welfare, disease, movement and identification.

In relation to the herdowner in question an inspection was required on the holding and this took place on 3 November. Payment to the herdowner is currently being processed in the Regional Veterinary Office and it is expected that it will issue early next week.
