Molly has been away lecturing in Estonia for a couple of days at an international conference and as ever she found it both an honour and an opportunity to see what the rest of the world are doing and learn new techniques -
There is plenty of new research about many things that affect us every day. Did you know that;
It is probably as low as 5% the cases of pneumonia that can be picked up with a stethoscope & the Wisconsin or California scale is not much better?
However in addition to the in house Micron machine for worm 🪱 egg counts, coccidia counts & fluke egg counts, the bull fertility app we have for counting spermatozoa and the inhouse scour testing we hope to be offering a new technique for allowing us to routinely monitor pneumonia in calves to see lesions before clinical signs appear, be able to differentiate viral from bacterial lesions and to tailor treatments and their length to the individual calf. Now that is going to be a major step forward to reducing disease and increasing productivity!

Please just be aware of the latest rules folks ….

In response to the significant increase of findings of avian influenza in kept and wild birds, housing measures to protect poultry & captive birds from are coming into force in Cheshire, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Durham, East Riding of Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Merseyside, Norfolk, North Yorkshire, Northumberland, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Shropshire, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Suffolk, Tyne & Wear and West Yorkshire from 00:01 on Thursday 30 Oct 2025.

This means that from this time it will be a legal requirement for all keepers of over 50 birds and all keepers who sell or give away eggs, meat or poultry (even if they keep fewer than 50 birds), in these areas to house their birds. Keeping your birds undercover away from wild birds is vital to minimise the risk of them becoming infected with avian influenza by wild birds.

If you are currently in a Protection Zone outside of these areas, you must continue to house your birds.

Please check GOV.UK: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/housing-measures-introduced-to-protect-poultry-and-other-captive-birds for more info.

An Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) with mandatory biosecurity measures is also in force across Great Britain: https://www.gov.uk/animal-disease-cases-england/bird-flu-regional-avian-influenza-prevention-zone-east-of-england
