Animal health roadshow to start in November
A UK-wide Animal Health Roadshow is being held by animal health research institute, Moredun, is set to begin in November, with vets and scientists from the institute addressing key livestock health issues at 11 events.
The institute says that the roadshow aims to provide vets, SQPs and farmers with the information they need to maximise health, productivity and profitability of the UK's livestock.
Topics to be covered during the nationwide events include worm control and liver fluke in sheep and cattle, calf health, sheep scab, Johne's disease and crytosporidiosis.
Professor Julie Fitzpatrick, chief executive and scientific director at Moredun, said: "The subjects we are covering during this Roadshow have all been suggested by our board of regional advisors, most of whom are farmers, vets and SQPs themselves – allowing us to remain focused on the needs of the industry.
"We hope that these meetings will help farmers learn more about specific animal health problems, enabling them to make informed choices about disease control on their farms."
The roadshow will run from November 11 to 21, heading to Ashford, Banbury, Ruthin, Bridgwater, Brecon, Buxton, Peebles, New Cumnock, Perth, Huntly and Hexham.
The events are free to attend, beginning at 7:30pm, and are all CPD events for vets and SQPs. Further information can be found on Moredun's website.
The BSAVA has opened submissions for the BSAVA Clinical Research Abstracts 2026.
