New trading website to launch
Website exclusive to veterinary sector

A new website will shortly launch to facilitate trading for the veterinary sector. The website, www.vbay.co.uk, will allow veterinary professionals and practice managers to research products in a single location, contact sellers, make purchases online and trade second hands items in an exclusively veterinary business environment.

Commenting, website co-founder Caroline Johnson said “It is not often that a completely novel service is brought to the veterinary market, so we are delighted to fill the gap in this market with vbay.co.uk, allowing veterinary buyers and sellers to conduct their business in the same way that they would if they were doing their own personal shopping; vbay.co.uk offers convenience and choice, including both classified advertising and auctions. The categories on the site will be expanded with time, so if any veterinary business needs a particular category on there and they cannot see it, we are asking people to get in touch and we’ll change things”.

The website is due to launch later in March 2012. An early-bird offer of free advertising for one month is available to suppliers during the pre-launch period, and more details can be found on the website.

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.'
