NSA and Moredun announce continuing collaboration
“We are delighted that our valuable partnership with the NSA is continuing and going from strength to strength" - Dr Beth Wells.
Partnership will provide members with updates on research and practical advice.

The National Sheep Association (NSA) and Moredun have announced their continuing collaboration, which will provide members of both organisations ongoing access to a package of benefits.

NSA and Moredun have a long history of working closely to ensure a sustainable, healthy and productive UK sheep flock. Together, they have worked to communicate key messages to farmers through the NSA Sheep Farmer magazine, at NSA meetings, Moredun factsheets and NSA events.

Dr Beth Wells, knowledge exchange specialist & principal research scientist at Moredun explained: “We are delighted that our valuable partnership with the NSA is continuing and going from strength to strength.

“We have lots of events planned for this year, working together to ensure our sheep farmers have all the updates on research and practical advice to help their flocks and businesses thrive. We are especially looking forward to the face to face events after so long without them and to welcoming NSA members to our stand and biobus.”

On Wednesday, 1 June, Dundee NSA Scot Sheep will host the Moredun mobile laboratory bus and exhibit, which will give information on research on sheep infectious disorders. The bus will next head south to attend the NSA Sheep Event at the Three Counties Showground in Worcestershire on Wednesday, 27 July. 

For those who are unable to attend an NSA event in person, NSA and Moredun will present a series of online webinars this summer on various themes, allowing everyone to benefit from the advice of Moredun specialists and experienced sheep farmers.

NSA chief executive Phil Stocker commented: “NSA is of course thrilled to continue working with Moredun. As a world-leading research facility there is no better organisation to go to for information on sheep health that we can confidently pass on to our sheep farming members as advice that can be relied upon to maintain or improve flock health. NSA looks forward to working with Moredun this summer and beyond.”
