'Natural England has set trained marksmen the minimum and maximum numbers of badgers they can cull.
In the seven new supplementary culling zones, at least 1,506 badgers must be removed in total to achieve disease control benefits. The maximum number is 5,631.
In the three existing zones of Gloucestershire, Somerset and Dorset, the minimum and maximum control numbers are 397 and 1,501.
Licence holders can decide when culling can take place between 1 June and 31 January. Typically, in previous years, culling operations started in early September.'
