RSPB ‘pure birdsong’ track to highlight nature crisis
The song of the nightingale is among the many beautiful recordings on the single, which is set to be released in April.

 
The RSPB is releasing a specially-created track of ‘pure birdsong’ to highlight the fact there are now 40 million fewer birds in the UK than there were 50 years ago.

The charity is calling on the public to download and stream the song, both to highlight the crisis that nature is facing and to experience its healing qualities.
Among the beautiful sound recordings include the cuckoo, curlew, nightingale, crane and turtle dove.

The track will be available to pre-order on all major platforms from 5 April ahead of International Dawn Chorus Day in May. For more information about the project and to download the track visit www.rspb.org.uk/letnaturesing

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
