POULTRY KEEPERS
Here's the updated advice regarding bird flu. in our region.

06/10/2022

BIRD FLU 🦆🦉🐓🦢🦃

Avian influenza (bird flu) is a notifiable animal disease. If you suspect any type of avian influenza in poultry or captive birds you must report it immediately by calling the Defra Rural Services Helpline on: 03000 200 301.
Failure to do so is an offence.

Reporting dead wild birds
You should call the Defra helpline (03459 33 55 77) if you find:
one or more dead bird of prey or owl
3 or more dead gulls or wild waterfowl
(swans, geese and ducks)
5 or more dead birds of any species

Do not touch or pick up any dead or visibly sick birds that you find. For further information see our advice to the public.

There suddenly seem to be a lot of juicy, big acorns around. Acorn poisoning can commonly affect sheep, cattle, horses and goats. It seems that some individuals can develop a taste for acorns and gorge on them so not all animals in a group may be affected in the same way.
Prevention is by far the best strategy so try to keep stock away from areas with acorns and ensure they have enough alternative forage available.

Are you are having recurrent problems in your herd like retained placenta, metritis and ovarian cysts? It could be due to subclinical ketosis. Targeted prevention can reduce ketosis by up to 74%. Call us today to discuss what could work best for your farm : 01508 530686

24/09/2022

Because the animals in your herd that have hidden ketosis show no noticeable signs, they can sometimes fade into the background. Talk to us about putting them back in the spotlight for a healthier herd, better fertility and restored milk yields.

Heading into Autumn means cases of Sheep Scab could begin to rise. If you suspect any of your sheep may be suffering, contact our vets today: 01508 530686, and we'll be happy to help! 🐑

This little calf had an injury and a nasty cut down to bone. There's not much tissue in this area so healing can be tricky but it did very well in the end.
The wound was as cleaned, clipped and lavaged. Then some debridement at the edges to make fresh tissue. Stitched up and bandaged for 3 days. The pictures are day 0 and 6 days after stitch up

Dr Christos Kartsalkas MRCVS, one of our farm animal vets, paid a visit to the Equine Clinic last week. He had been out on a farm attending to a lovely Red Poll calf with a suspected leg fracture.

Christos decided that further diagnostics were required to see exactly what damage had occurred to the calf’s joint and decide on the best course of treatment. With the assistance of Elly and Jess from the equine nurse team, an Xray was taken and a splint applied to the calf’s leg.

The calf is doing well so far and with further treatment and rechecks should make a good recovery.
