SHARING OPTIONS: ICMSA deputy president Lorcan McCabe has said that farmers need compensation for any inconclusives which test positive for TB and are removed from the herd. Some 75% of cattle which had an inconclusive TB test result and were subsequently blood-tested have tested positive for TB, Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association (ICMSA) deputy president Lorcan McCabe has told the Irish Farmers Journal. A new inconclusive policy began in April, which sees inconclusives blood-tested. “Of the ones coming back, 75% of the inconclusives blood-tested are coming back positive for TB,” he said. The Department of Agriculture has said that the success of the new inconclusive policy was highlighted at Wednesday’s TB Forum.
