The news agency claims that as of today, a further 335 cows will be killed, but hundreds more in a herd of more than 1,000 are still at risk.
The herd provides milk for Trioni Ltd, which is based on the farm and sells its award-winning Daioni range to customers worldwide, including Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
