   Robert Deane, a policy adviser for the NFU in the South-west, welcomed the change of tactics: "We feel this is a significant change of policy." The agency was trying to play down the extent of the perceived policy U-turn yesterday, but confirmed that it would be reviewing several potential burial sites that earlier had been ruled out.
   
   The change of tack was seen by many as an attempt to counter the political fall-out from Maff's apparent failure to cope with backlog of cases. Maff was accused of massaging statistics when it announced that the numbers of carcasses awaiting disposal in Devon had fallen overnight from 175,000 on Monday to just 99,000 yesterday afternoon.
   
   A ministry spokesman conceded that the new figures had been "re-calculated" to reflect the numbers of animals that were "in the process of" being burnt or buried.
