HRH will join delegates to debate spending on welfare charities

Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal will be making an appearance at this year's British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) Congress.

A patron of BEVA since 2003, the Princess Royal has enduring ties with the equine sector and is linked with many equine and charitable veterinary organisations.

She will join delegates in a "moral maze" style debate at the congress on September 11. The debate will explore whether money spent on welfare charities is well-spent.

David Mountford, BEVA chief executive, said: "We are privileged and flattered the Her Royal Highness has chosen to attend BEVA Congress this year, despite her busy schedule.

"We look forward to welcoming her and hope that she will enjoy participating in what is sure to be a lively debate on the role of equine charities."

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
