On this week’s Agritime, we discuss growing concern about human health and anti-microbial resistance as the Mercosur trade deal looks set to proceed. We hear from the Food Safety Authority, which has confirmed Brazilian beef containing an illegal carcinogenic hormone entered the Irish food chain last September.
We also look ahead to Saturday’s Mercosur protest in Athlone, as farm organisations urge people to attend. Plus, MTU launches a new pilot green bio-refinery at its Kerry campus — the first of its kind in Ireland.
And Teagasc has advice on preparing for calving, while Tomás Bourke brings you the latest beef and sheep prices.
