The order from Rural Affairs Minister Elin Jones comes as the Badger Trust expressed fears that the Welsh Assembly Government could sleep-walk into culling badgers as part of a three-year £27m bTB eradication programme.
According to icWales, Ms Jones wants officials to look into the use of micro-nutrients or trace elements in tackling the disease in badgers as well as cattle.
It follows evidence from former farmer and army officer Danny Goodwin-Jones of his work on hundreds of farms across Britain.
Mr Goodwin-Jones is director of the Carmarthen-based Trace Element Services Ltd, a company he founded in 1982 after a series of trials on his underperforming 150-acre Carmarthenshire farm.
