- What are NSAIDs and how do they work?
- What is the evidence base for NSAIDs aiding in recovery?
- The evidence base for NSAIDs restoring productivity
- Review recent findings of a study on the use of NSAIDs by local farmers

We love our portable scanners.
We love the sunshine.
Unfortunately the two don't mix that well and the team have to resort to desperate measures to see the screen properly! 😂
We don't let that stop us!

Bluetongue PreMovement Test Update: The length of time that pre-movement test samples are valid is changing from 21 days to 10 days from the 27th of May. Leading up to this date, samples should be timestamped to ensure validity on the planned move date.

Bluetongue pre-movement testing exemptions have been extended until the 12 of June: Non-breeding animals over 60 days old do not need testing but you must apply for a specific movement licence if moving them out of the restriction zone.
