Dates for National Animal Health Roadshow
Moredun vets and scientists will be hitting the road

Vets and scientists from Moredun, the UK's leading animal health and research institute, will take to the road in November as part of a ten date Animal Health Roadshow which will cover the whole of Britain.

Each of the ten events will focus on current livestock health issues, including worm control, liver fluke in sheep and cattle, sheep abortion, sheep pneumonia, BVD, cattle abortion and cryptosporidiosis.

The Roadshow will run between 12th and 29th November and will visit Bridge of Allan, Castle Douglas, Carfraemill, Inverness, Macclesfield, Welshpool, Harrogate, Tedburn St Mary, Hereford and Llandeilo.

Professor Julie Fitzpatrick, Chief Executive and Scientific Director of Moredun, hopes that both SQPs and their farmer clients will benefit from the events. She said: “The subjects we are covering during this Roadshow have all been suggested by our board of regional advisors, most of whom are farmers and SQPs themselves – allowing us to remain focused on the needs of the industry.” She added, “We hope that these meetings will help SQPs learn more about specific animal health problems, so that they can make informed recommendations to their farmer clients about disease control on their farms.”
