This became apparent at a meeting between Defra specialists and industry stakeholders last week when the Government's cost efficiency study on the introduction of PrMT for over 42-day-old cattle leaving farms in one-two year testing parishes showed an estimated net gain over cost of only pounds 1m to pounds 3m a year to government and taxpayers.
