Red Tractor Assurance (RTA) have issued a consultation on two new dairy standards to be implemented in Version 5 in October 2021:
1. Farms must have a written breeding and management policy in place and implemented so there is no routine euthanasia of calves
2. Annual collation of calf births/deaths must be maintained
