The ICBF generates the bulk of its income from service fees charged to the Department of Agriculture, the meat and dairy industry as well as individual farmers.
The Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF) saw its annual revenues increase 7% to hit €14.7m for its 2019 financial year. ICBF, which is a non-profit organisation, generates over 80% of its income from fees for cattle breeding services charged to the Department of Agriculture, the meat and dairy industry, as well as individual farmers.
In 2019, income from service fees stood at €12.3m. The ICBF’s role in facilitating the Government’s Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP) is a significant contributor to this total. On top of this, the ICBF charges service fees for milk recording, its HerdPlus service and to AI companies.
The organisation was also awarded a grant of just over €1.7m in 2019 by the Department of Agriculture
