⚠️ Bluetounge update ⚠️

Due to lower temperatures and reduced midge activity the risk of new infection and onward transmission due to vector activity is now low.

As a result of the reduction in risk, certain restrictions are now eased, including removing the following:
🔸 The requirement for post-movement testing of animals
🔸 The use of insecticide on vehicles
🔸 The requirement to send animals from the Restricted Zone to designated abattoirs

It is important to rember to be hygienic during lambing season 🧽

Here are some of our top tips 👇

🐑 When lambing inside, make sure pens are thoroughly cleaned before ewes enter
🐑 Once pen is dry, bed it with clean dry bedding
🐑 Wear disposable protective gloves when lambing ewes that require assistance
🐑 If you see wet straw and afterbirth, clean it out and replace with fresh, clean straw between ewes
🐑 Iodine lambs navels asap after birth using a dip cup. Repeat this 6 hours later.
