Description

This work involves allocating £50,000 of revenue funding in 2025/26 to support research analysing existing numerical data from the Cattle Tracking System (CTS) to produce a report on beef and dairy cattle calving intervals in Wales. The research will strengthen our understanding of current performance and provide a more robust evidence base to inform policy development to support the optional layer within the SFS.
