🐑NEW BRITISH SHEARING RECORD!!!🐑

MSD Animal Health was proud to be one of the sponsors of Gethin Lewis and Llyr Evans in their attempt to break the British 8-hour 2 stand ewe shearing record.

And what a result! By shearing a combined total 1,364, they smashed the previous record.

Gethin also set a new individual record by shearing 696 ewes, beating the previous total of 663.

Our hearty congratulations go to Gethin and Llyr for an outstanding performance.
It just goes to show that with MSD Animal Health in your corner, ewe can do anything!

🐑Protect your next crop of lambs – vaccinate🐑

Toxoplasmosis and enzootic abortion are the biggest causes of sheep abortion in the UK*.

But vaccination is an effective way of preventing them.

Ewes can be vaccinated up to three weeks before tupping for toxoplasmosis and up to four weeks before tupping for EAE.

But you don’t have to wait that long. If your flock is in for shearing or weaning, do it then and give yourself peace of mind your ewes are protected.

In spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love …

So said Sir Alfred Lord Tennyson.

Sadly, for tups, they must wait until later in the year!

While they’re waiting, conduct a ram MOT (Mating Optimisation Test) to ensure they’re in fine fettle for tupping.

Swipe through our slides for a full breakdown of the ram MOT!

Is Toxoplasma gondii on your farm?

With our FlockCheck scheme revealing 80%* of UK sheep farms are exposed, the chances are it is.

Don’t lose lambs through inaction. Vaccinate against abortion.

Speak to your vet about an effective vaccination programme.

*MSD Animal Health Flockcheck 2025 scheme interim results. Based on 198 UK farms.

Three million sheep and up to ÂŁ80m a year*.

That’s the extent and cost of lameness in the UK.

It’s time to stamp it out.

Vaccinating against footrot is proven to significantly reduce lameness.

Throughout July, we’ve been marking Lameness Month.

But lameness doesn’t go away on July 31st – it’s a year-round problem.

So, remember the Five Point Plan and start to build resilience in your flock now.

It will pay dividends for many years to come.

Speak to your vet about vaccination and the Five Point Plan.

What level of barren ewes and aborted lambs is ‘acceptable’?

Of course, the answer to this is zero.

But that’s not always possible.

But by vaccinating against toxoplasmosis and enzootic abortion, you could significantly reduce infection levels.

So, ask yourself, how was lambing this year?

Is now the time to speak to your vet about an effective vaccination programme?
