BSAVA Congress the “Best Yet”
This year’s congress has been the most successful congress to date, officers at the BSAVA’s AGM have said.

Provisional figures suggest that 13,326 delegates attended congress this year, as compared to 13,309 last year.

The commercial sector of BSAVA seemed to be a success also, with most exhibitors reporting that it’s been well attended and that they are pleased with the response to their stands.

Social events were similarly well received – Joe Simpson received a standing ovation at the end of his speech on the Thursday, the surprise entertainment at the Banquet wowed party-goers on the Friday and Scouting for Girls, currently number 1 in the charts, were also enjoyed by many at Party Night on the Saturday.

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.'
