Overview
- Agriculture Minister Annie Genevard, speaking in Avignon on Friday at the GDS congress, said the culling indemnity will rise by €850 to €3,350 with retroactive application.
- The payment applies per animal over 24 months that is culled after bovine tuberculosis is found through diagnostic testing.
- Genevard said the move answers breeders’ requests despite tight public budgets and will bring strong relief to affected farms.
- France counted 50 outbreaks by mid-March 2026 after 93 in 2025 and 81 in 2024, which lets the country keep its official TB-free status for cattle trade.
- Farmer groups say thousands of cattle were slaughtered for TB control in 2024 and 2025, so the higher payout could help cover losses when whole herds are removed.
