The North is to retain its culling policy, Stormont Agriculture Minister Brid Rodgers said today.
Speaking after a meeting of the Executive, Mrs Rodgers said her Department would be sticking with the policy, as it had contained the disease to four outbreaks so far.
"We are in a different situation to Great Britain because we have been containing the disease.
We are still going to cull everything because there is a view that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It seems to have been working so far."
