The level of bovine TB has been rising since 2018. The overall steady increase in herd incidence since then highlights the continued need for urgent action by all stakeholders.
The total number of reactors removed in the last 12 months to the end of Q4 2023 has risen to 28,901 from 23,393. Herd incidence has increased to 4.94% from 4.27% during the same period.
We can help decrease the levels of bovine TB by reducing the risk of TB entering our herds. To learn more about reducing the risk of TB please see our videos and leaflets at the link below.
(final and end of year statistics updated 10 April 2024)
Expenditure at the end of Q4 2023 is €74.28m. On farm market valuation (OFMV) has increased 52% when compared to Q4 2022. This continued increase in OFMV is due to strong market values and the rise in the number reactors. OFMV is the main contributor to the increase in TB programme expenditure over the last three years, however, Q4 2023 also shows a significant increase in expenditure across other areas, reflecting the increase in disease.
