Our team have spent some of their time TB testing this Autumn.

As UK cattle numbers fall and demand increases, cattle move around the country more than ever before.
This map highlights England and Wales’ risk areas which may be considered when purchasing animals.

We can carry out a free visit to look at your TB risk and whether there are things you can do to reduce this risk. Your VAN or medicine review visit can be carried out at the same time as a TBAS visit. Chat to one of the farm team for more information.

Did you know that there is an interactive Bovine TB risk map for Great Britain?

Follow the link below for information about the different bovine TB risk areas in Great Britain, including surveillance TB testing intervals and whether pre- and/or post-movement TB testing is required.

❄ The weather is defiantly showing us its winter, we thought we'd ask what you do to keep your troughs from freezing?

Some tips we've come up with are:

🏐Floating a ball
* Floating a bottle of salted water -salt water has a higher freezing temperature- make sure the salt can't get into the water
* Insulating your tanks -straw and even foams mats have been successful
💧 Reducing capacity and flow - so the water constantly trickles in

🗣Share you tips with us, we'd love to hear them

September has been a month of professional development in the team.

Dawn was lucky enough to be invited to an international calf conference in Spain where all aspects of rearing calves were explored between vets from many European countries.🐄

Meanwhile Pippa recently enjoyed an interested a varied programme at the Sheep Veterinary Society conference in sunny Wales. 🐑

Pippa and Dawn both look forward to sharing new ideas and science-backed knowledge with your businesses in the coming months.

**HIGH WORM ALERT**

After a prolonged period of dry weather, recent rain has triggered a sharp rise in infective worm burdens on pasture. Due to early dry weather, many lambs haven’t had a gradual exposure needed to build natural immunity so the risk is high and the impact can be serious.

Signs to look out for are a drop in performance/growth rate, dirty back ends and sometimes unexplained deaths. Growth rates often drop prior to seeing scour.

Routine monitoring of lambs with pooled faecal samples is advised every 2-3 weeks over this high risk period.

With cases of Bluetongue starting to appear across the country we would like to remind everyone that vaccines are available to help protect livestock.

It is worth noting that availability of these vaccines are currently good but if demand increases significantly due to increasing cases nationally and in Europe, we cannot guarantee supply when we really need it.

Please speak to one of the farm team about vaccination.
