Three hundred cattle narrowly escaped death in Haute-Vienne. A laboratory had mistakenly claimed that the herd of a breeder in Ladignac-le-Long was suffering from bovine tuberculosis.
The farmer is forced to throw away 80,000 liters of milk. He invested 25,000 euros to acquire a pasteurizer and a tank allowing him to collect milk from another farm. The state representative apologized in person and raised the possibility of amicable compensation. If it is unsuccessful, legal action is not ruled out by the breeder, stunned by this banal laboratory error.
