§ Mr. Crawfordasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is this estimate of the value of the loss to livestock in England and Wales as a result of summer mastitis in 1978.
§ Mr. StrangNo separate estimate of livestock losses from summer mastitis is available. However, I am advised that the results of a survey undertaken in 1977 indicated that 3 per cent. of cattle in the dairy herd in England and Wales were culled because of all forms of mastitis.
