Calling all our clients and friends: come and join us on Tuesday 29th July for our Coffee and Cake morning!

🦠BLUETONGUE VIRUS 🦠

🔍 What is Bluetongue?
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a disease affecting ruminants like sheep, cattle, goats, and camelids. While it doesn’t affect humans, Bluetongue can cause serious health problems in animals, including swelling, lameness, and production losses.
Bluetongue is spread by infected biting midges, specifically certain species of the genus Culicoides. The virus is transmitted when an infected midge bites an uninfected animal. Midges become lifelong carriers once infected. They are most active from April to November, and weather conditions significantly affect how far and fast they can spread the disease.

🚫 Prevention & Control:
• Vigilance: Regularly monitor your animals for any signs of illness.
• Biosecurity: Limit the movement of livestock from areas with Bluetongue outbreaks.
• Vaccination: Bluetongue vaccines are available in the UK under a special license. Though unlicensed, they’ve been approved by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) as safe and effective in reducing the severity of clinical signs and mortality, though they won’t prevent infection entirely. Our surgery can provide these vaccines.

📍 Current Situation:
In areas where Bluetongue cases have been detected, authorities have imposed Restriction Zones (RZ) to control the spread. Animals can be moved within the RZ under a general license, including to abattoirs or other premises in the zone. However, animals leaving a market within the zone cannot be moved outside of it. Currently, moving animals to markets outside the zones is not permitted.
Make sure to check if your farm falls within a Bluetongue Restriction Zone (RZ). Stay informed and protect your livestock! 🐑🐄

🌳❗️ Acorn poisoning ❗️🌳

We’ve been receiving more reports of acorn poisoning in livestock this year, including a case in two sheep last week.

Unfortunately both sheep had to be euthanised due to the effects of the poisoning, and a post-mortem revealed that the abomasum (true stomach) was severely ulcerated as you can see in this image.

The farmer of these sheep has kindly allowed us to share this image as a warning of the devastating but often unseen effects of acorn poisoning.

Please continue to be vigilant against acorn poisoning and keep your livestock away from oak trees. If you suspect acorn poisoning in your livestock, call us for advice immediately on 01564 783404.

❗️🌳 Acorn warning! 🌳❗️

Following a case of acorn poisoning over the weekend, we wanted to share a reminder of the risks posed by acorns around this time of year - particularly while we are seeing these false autumn conditions! 🍂

Acorns are poisonous to cattle and sheep as they contain Gallic Acid and Tannic Acid, which are both toxic substances that can cause damage to the liver and kidneys, including internal bleeding.

Signs of acorn poisoning in livestock include vomiting and diarrhoea, depression, abdominal tenderness, weight loss, loss of appetite and dehydration.

Acorn poisoning can often be fatal so prevention is key. The dry weather conditions we’ve had over summer may make the acorns carry larger amounts of toxins than usual due to the stress the dry weather has put on the trees. Livestock are most likely to eat acorns when food is scarce, as it may be in some areas following the dry summer, so if you can’t avoid grazing in fields with oak trees during autumn then ensure other food sources don’t run short.

📞 If you suspect your animal is suffering from acorn poisoning, call us immediately on 01564 783404.
