The funding, which is still under discussion, regards support for farmers in covering the cost of collecting and testing tissue samples. The Department of Agriculture introduced additional supports of €2.5m in 2023 offering payment of €2 per calf up to 25 calves in a herd.
The implementation group has recommended higher
