'Lambing Live' and much more…
'Lambing Live' will no doubt capture the heart of the public.
A close relative to the exceptionally popular Springwatch Live, ‘Lambing Live’ will no doubt have viewers on the edge of their seats as they watch real life events unfold on a sheep farm in Wales, and there’s much more in terms of wildlife TV this week too…
 

Taking a prime time 8pm slot from Sunday to Thursday, BBC2 no doubt has high hopes for its new ‘Lambing Live’ series, which will be presented by Kate Humble.

The weekend is actually an action-packed time for wildlife documentaries – starting with ‘The Crocodile Hunter Diaries’ on Saturday on ITV 1. ‘Predator Battleground’ focuses on wildlife competing for dominance in the dry season in Botswana’s Savuti Channel.

This week’s ‘Natural World’ – on Sunday – focuses on a Frenchman, who, in rural Borneo, has combined his love of music and his love of ‘singing’ gibbons with some fascinating results. ‘In Search of the Giant Anaconda’ is a “does what it says on the tin” type of programme featuring on Discovery HD on Sunday night.

Monday is marked by ‘Nature’s Top 40’ on BBC2, which focuses on the best of British wildlife. A little later in the week is the exciting ‘Lost Land of the Jaguar’ where a team of intrepid explorers go in search of these wonderful and scarce animals and find themselves deep within jungle wilderness.

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.
