The Sustainable Control of Parasites in Sheep (SCOPS) Group is once again offering its invaluable Nematodirus Forecast to help farmers, vets and advisers identify when lambs might be at risk of exposure to nematodirus, ensuring timely and effective interventions.
Producers should speak to their vet, SQP or animal health adviser about this topic and visit the SCOPS website at scops.org.uk/nematodirus

Farmers looking to protect their small animals from bluetongue midges should consider vector-proofing housing. Brushes around doors offer an easy & effective first step.

PODCAST launched: We have today published a podcast entitled ‘Information on bluetongue for prescribing SQPs’, to support SQPs/RAMAs on the frontline of product prescription and supply in giving the best possible advice to farmers.
Working with industry stakeholders and following feedback from our members, we identified a need to provide an update on the role SQPs/RAMAs can play if farmers ask them for bluetongue advice; even though bluetongue is outside the remit of the role it is recognised that SQPs/RAMAs are a frequent and trusted source of advice for farmers.
In the podcast, AMTRA CEO, Stephen Dawson, is joined by Nerys Wright, an independent sheep consultant and a farm animal SQP, plus Marion England and Chris Sanders who are both Research Fellows at The Pirbright Institute.

👏👏 to everyone involved in developing this new tool 😊
Used the new @Norbrook liver fluke lateral flow test on the latest @InnovisLtd tup lamb intake - hugely valuable to have a pen-side test: pretty easy to use solo, quick results. And yes, treatment given 😊
