Controlled Finishing Units as part of the TB Eradication Programme are subject to enhanced biosecurity measures and can only sell direct to slaughter.

Kill numbers (rounded) at EU approved slaughter plants originating in Controlled Finishing Units in July and August 2021.

Month 2021
July 30,500
August 25,500

The figures are published on the Department section of the gov.ie website on a monthly basis with July and August figures above to be updated shortly. See link below.
