Last Friday, Jen, our Business Operations Lead, went to Eden Valley Hospice to present £170 to the Pets as Therapy Team 🐶

On the day they were represented by Geoff Smith and Baxter, regular visitors to patients in the Hospice.

The money was raised over the festive period, where we held a photoshoot for clients and their pets with 'Santa Paws', as well as taking part in the 'Wear Something Festive Week' just before Christmas.

Are your cattle vaccinated for lungworm yet? 💉

Vaccinating calves before turnout can help to build calf immunity & also help reduce the levels of pasture contaminated with lungworm larvae, as well as reducing financial losses.

Are your calves ready for the winter? 🧣

Calves require extra energy to support their immune system and maintain body temperature and growth during cold weather 🐮

Here are our top tips to help keep your calves warm:
❄️ Dry newborn calves to reduce heat loss
❄️ Ensure bedding is clean, dry and deep (hindlimbs should not be visible when nesting)
❄️ Avoid draughts at calf level
❄️ Check your milk powder contains at least 20% fat for extra energy
❄️ Consider providing warm water to encourage drinking and increase starter intakes
❄️ Increase the volume/concentration of milk fed (max 160g milk replacer/ 1L of water)

Are you experiencing an increased barren percentage within your flock this year? 🐑

Infectious diseases such as toxoplasmosis and borders disease may be the reason, and if left unmanaged, they can impact the health of your flock.

Whilst you have your sheep gathered, now is the ideal time to condition score your sheep. The target for Lowland flocks is BCS 3-3.5, and Hill flocks BCS 2.5. Condition scoring can help you ensure you feed thin ewes appropriately.

For advice, please speak to one of the farm team 📞

Reducing the risk of TB on your farm 🐮❌

Maintaining strong farm biosecurity is one of the most effective ways to control TB.

To help, here are some practical tips to improve biosecurity on your farm:
👉 Avoid sourcing cattle from herds with recent history of TB. Check www.ibtb.co.uk
👉 Avoid feeding cattle on the ground or use raised troughs to keep feed away from badgers.
👉 Raise or modify water troughs to reduce badger access or cover and disinfect when not in use.
👉 Use permanent or temporary fencing to keep cattle away from badger setts and badger latrines whilst allowing badgers access.
👉 Store slurry and manure prior to spreading to reduce the risk of TB survival in faeces.
👉 Use sheet gates or panels to reduce badger access to cattle sheds and feed stores (they can climb 1.2m and squeeze through gaps >7.5cm).

⭐️ FARM RESILIENCE FUNDING ⭐️

DEFRA has allocated us some funding to provide advisory visits for our clients. The funding is aimed at supporting the future of farming businesses.

Each farm has the opportunity of 4 visits, either from a vet or vet tech, to discuss and investigate areas relating to health and productivity.

Funding is available to all dairy, beef and sheep farms, and will cover our visit fee and time.

Areas which could be covered include, but are not limited to:
🔹Lameness
🔹Infertility
🔹Housing assessment
🔹Disease control
🔹Mastitis control, including dynamic milk testing
🔹Parasite plans

If these visits are of interest to you, please speak to a member of the farm team, and we will discuss the options and requirements.

⚠️ Bluetongue ⚠️

There is no direct animal to animal transmission of Bluetongue Virus (BTV-3) and it is spread by certain species of biting midges.

Sheep tend to show more symptoms than cattle and camelids, which are less severely impacted.

Please remain on the lookout for clinical signs, which include:

🔹 Mouth & nose ulcerations/crusting
🔹 Eye & nose discharge
🔹 Drooling from the mouth
🔹 Redding of the mouth, eyes, nose or coronary bands
🔹 Swelling of the lips, head, tongue or coronary band
🔹 Milk drop
🔹 Fever

BTV-3 is notifiable and suspected cases must be reported. Vaccines are available, and a general licence can now be used in ALL counties of England.
