Preseli Pembrokeshire Senedd Member Paul Davies has raised concerns over the latest Bovine TB statistics published by the UK Government’s Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs.

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.

The total number of cattle slaughtered in Wales was 13,034.

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.”
