Due to an increase in bird flu cases, owners of more than 50 birds must house them from Thursday. This also applies for smaller flocks who sell or give away eggs. For more information please see the following post from APHA.

We are excited to announce that we have a new Worm Egg Count Machine!
This machine will help us to provide counts of greater accuracy and allows us to offer additional in-house testing such as Haemonchus contortus speciation.
In most cases, this speciation will be same-day – enabling quick and effective decisions to be made.
Cocci speciation is also coming soon!

Keep your eyes peeled for a chance to name our machine! 👀

Vincent Van Goat (Vinnie for short) came in to see us a couple of weeks ago for a tooth extraction.

Vinnie had been seen by Beckie and Abel in the field after feed kept getting impacted in his mouth. Beckie managed to see that he had a wobbly tooth and recommended its removal!

Vinnie came into the Burcote Road surgery where all the Towcester Vet departments got involved!
🐶 The small animal nurses helped to place an IV catheter.
🐮 The farm team induced and monitored anaesthesia.
🐴And Michele from our equine side helped with the extraction of the tooth.

Michele used his scope to see and successfully removed Vinnie’s offending tooth.

Vincent Van Goat is doing well post-surgery and Beckie continues to monitor him in the field.

Bluetongue cases are continuing to rise in England. Cases have more than doubled in the last couple of weeks, and we still remain in a high risk vector period.

We are still advising vaccination for herds and flocks as there is no treatment for bluetongue.

Vaccinating is still beneficial at this time as it will continue to provide protection into next years high risk season.

If you have any questions or would like to chat about vaccinating, please call the office on 01327 350239.

The Animal Health and Welfare Pathway is still open and we are strongly encouraging farmers to make use of the funding!

The Pathway includes a health plan and discussion with a vet, PLUS additional testing.

In cattle, the testing is focused on BVD and ensuring your farm retains a free status.

In sheep there’s funding for a worming drench check, PLUS endemic disease testing.

This funding is due to stop in June 2027- apply below to make the most of it!
