Notes:
1. The above notice details the compensation payable for those
animals slaughtered because they are either affected with bovine
TB, BSE, Brucellosis or EBL or are suspected of having one of
these diseases; or are the offspring or cohorts of confirmed
BSE cases.
2. Compensation for bovine animals slaughtered for Bovine TB,
EBL and Brucellosis is calculated in England under the Cattle
Compensation (England) Order 2006 and the Individual Ascertainment
of Value Order 2005. Compensation for bovine animals slaughtered
for BSE is calculated in England under the TSE Regulations 2006,
in Wales under the BSE Compensation (Wales) Regulations 2006,
and in Scotland under the TSE (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
3. Where the Secretary of State considers that the sales data
for any particular bovine category in any given month are inadequate,
or such price data is unavailable, the compensation payable will
either be at the level of the most recently ascertained value
for the same category or he may opt to pay compensation at the
level of the market value of the animal in question, as ascertained
under the Individual Ascertainment of Value (England) Order 2005
or the TSE Regulations 2006. A statistical analysis of sales
data collected during a twelve months period has helped Defra
identify the level of variability in sales prices (for each category).
This intelligence is used to determine when there is insufficient
data to support a table valuation.
4. Where an owner slaughters an animal voluntarily and privately
(which must be agreed with the Department) no compensation will
payable.
5. The values in the table of categories above have been derived
from sales information obtained from store markets, prime markets,
rearing calf sales, breeding sales and dispersal sales in Great
Britain between 21 June 2007 and 20 July 2007 for non-pedigree
animals, and between 21 January 2007 and 20 July 2007 for pedigree
animals.
