More cattle to be culled with blue tongue

More cattle on a Co Antrim farm found to have blue tongue disease are to be culled, it has been revealed.

Agriculture Minister Michelle Gildernew last week said a cow from the same farm which contracted the disease had been put down.

The animal had been imported from the Netherlands. A further 23 cows and four calves will now be slaughtered following further tests.

Ms Gildernew said the farm would remain under restriction.
