Following the identification of a bluetongue BTV-3 case with evidence of recent infection close to the edge of the Restricted Zone (RZ) in West Sussex, the RZ has been extended. The RZ now covers East Riding of Yorkshire, City of Kingston upon Hull, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Greater London, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex and part of Hampshire.

Keepers of cattle, sheep, camelids and other ruminants must remain vigilant. Bluetongue is a notifiable disease and must be reported by law.

You are not permitted to move any animal showing clinical signs and if you see any of these signs you must report it to APHA. Follow the restrictions on animal and germinal product movements that apply. Animals must only be moved where it’s absolutely necessary. More information on the restrictions and licences that apply is available on GOV.UK: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/bluetongue-movement-licences-and-designated-slaughterhouses.

Bluetongue Update

With the current Bluetongue assessment in the UK changing on an almost daily basis, please make sure you are keeping up to date with the latest news bulletins from Ruminant Health & Welfare (21/09/24):

"Following the identification of cases close to the edge of the bluetongue restricted zone and in accordance with our policy of seeking to contain and slow the spread of disease, the two restricted zones have now been merged and extended. The new restricted zone now also covers all Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, all Greater London, Surrey and West Sussex.

Following reports of suspicion of clinical disease in sheep at premises in East Sussex and East Yorkshire the UK chief veterinary officer (CVO) has confirmed two new cases of BTV-3. One further case was identified through a tracing of animals from an affected farm to a premises in Cambridgeshire and an additional case was identified through surveillance in Essex.

This brings the total number of cases to 95."(https://ruminanthw.org.uk/bluetongue-virus/)

At present, vaccination is only approved on a general licence for stock residing in High Risk Counties, however more information on the three authorised vaccines can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/bluetongue-serotype-3-btv-3-vaccine-permits

Please contact us if you would like to discuss or register your interest in vaccinating your flock or herd, should vaccination of your stock become permitted.
