Bella has had a very exciting first week with us, from scanning cattle to assisting with her very first caesarean! 👏

She has truly settled into the chaotic life of being a farm vet and part of our team amazingly! 🌟

🌟Our Newest Member Of The Team🌟

Today was an exciting day for us here at Marches Farm Vets as we welcomed Bella into the team!

Here’s a little bit from Bella:
“Hello everyone! My name is Bella and I graduated from Liverpool University in 2024 and I am starting my vet career at Marches Farm Vets. I grew up in a tiny village in South Yorkshire where our garden backs up onto sheep fields.
At age 11 I started working on the farm feeding the cade lambs and I've never looked back! Each year I took on more responsibilities, aged 14 I went with the farmer to the vets to take a sheep for a caesarean and that was it. I was going to be a farm animal vet. 9 years later here I am very excited to join Marches Farm Vets.
My main interest includes all things reproduction, sheep and post mortem investigation. Outside of work I enjoy baking, crafts and aerial hoop fitness.
I look forward to meeting you all on farm soon.”

🪲 Scab in Sheep 🪲

Sheep scab is a form of allergic dermatitis caused by an infestation of the skin surface with scab mites. It is one of the most contagious endemic ectoparasite disease affecting sheep in the UK.

❓Why is a test best?❓
The Mites faeces contains proteins which break through the skin, in response this causes the sheep to produce an antibody. We advise you to get a blood test to identify scab within your flock before treating, the test can detect the antibodies in the blood 2 weeks after an infestation and before any clinic signs appear.

👀 Clinical signs:
• Yellow scab on the skin surface
• Restlessness
• Scratching
• Loss of wool
• Loss of condition
• Bleeding wounds

How is the flock tested? 🩸
It is a flock level test so the vet will only need to sample 12 sheep per management group, this gives us the best chance of finding scab if its there. Testing 12 animals works with any size of group.

📞For more information or question please call the office or message our WhatsApp number

💉 🐮 Pneumonia Vaccination 🐮 💉

🐮Pneumonia in calves is a multifactorial disease. Multiple viruses such as parainfluenza, IBR and bovine respiratory syncital virusare implicated with secondary infections caused by bacterianormally present in the calf's body.
🗒️Management practices including ventilation, temperature, nutrition and moisture create a significant impact on the development of pneumonia.
🗒️Stress caused by mixing groups, disbudding, castration, weaning, housing and transport, disturbs the calf's immune system making it less able to fend off infection.
🗒️Mixing of groups from different sources and age groups introduces new infections to naive animals.
🗒️BVD is an important immunosuppressant virus contributing to calf pneumonia and a BVD free status should be achieved to reduce pneumonia incidence
💉Vaccination can be used as one point of control to help reduce the impact of calf pneumonia, however the above factors should also be considered, as the vaccination is unfortunately not a 'cure-all' solution!
💉Multiple different vaccines are available with different spectrums of cover and courses, please discuss with one of our vets to find the most suitable vaccine for your farm.
💉Primary vaccination courses should be completed before stressful events occur, such as weaning and housing for sucklercalves, therefore this is the time of year to consider pneumonia vaccination.
