Kerry Cattle Premium Scheme |
Environment related objective
|
To protect animals.
2. Policy objective and/or purpose of the subsidy
The object of the scheme is to encourage the maintenance of a number of separate herds of Kerry Cattle in Ireland and the creation and maintenance of a sufficient reserve of pure bred breeding stock.
3. Background and authority for the subsidy (including identification of the legislation under which it is granted)
The Kerry breed is an exclusively Irish species of livestock with certain qualities that facilitated its development in an adverse environment (poor nutrition, poor quality land etc.). It has a relatively good milk yield for its size and feed intake. Consequently the conservation of this species of livestock as a pool of genetic material was considered prudent, for future scientific research and development of breeds suitable for specific Irish conditions.
