Paul Davies MS has raised concerns over the latest Bovine TB statistics published by the UK Government.

The latest statistics show that 4,580 cattle were slaughtered in 2024, a 24.11% increase on the previous year’s figure of 3,690.

Mr Davies said, “The latest Bovine TB statistics show that more and more cattle are being slaughtered in Pembrokeshire and it’s a huge concern.”

“The figures show the Welsh Government’s policy for tackling Bovine TB simply isn’t working and a more holistic approach must be considered.”

“Bovine TB has plagued farmers in Pembrokeshire for years, at a huge economic and emotional cost.”

“Cattle cannot continue to be slaughtered in their thousands, it’s not sustainable and farmers are right to be angry about these latest statistics.”
