#Bluetongue poses a significant threat to cattle, sheep, goats & camelids.
We're supporting the #DoNotWaitVaccinate campaign in Wales, which encourages farmers to talk to their vet about vaccinating livestock against the virus

From today, the Bluetongue Restricted Zone extends across England, but Wales remains outside the zone.
Livestock entering Wales from England require pre-movement testing with some exceptions.
Speak to your vet about vaccination - the best way to protect your livestock.

The #Bluetongue Restricted Zone (RZ) has now been extended to cover all of England, meaning you can now move animals within England without a specific bluetongue licence or pre-movement testing. The guidance on animal moves to Scotland and Wales must be followed. @ruminanthw
Did you know that all BCVA members (from students to retired members) are eligible to apply for funding for a research project that is relevant and of value to UK cattle vets?

Thinking about vaccinating your herd/flock against BTV-3?
Talk to your vet about the decision – remember it is helpful to place orders in advance to assist in managing the supply/demand of vaccines

Our #vaccines survey is still open for responses - there are a just few weeks left to provide your feedback. It will only take a few minutes to complete. Your contributions will help build a picture of the supply challenges each sector has been facing.

This week we have launched a vaccines survey designed to gather insights from vets, farmers and SQPs about the vaccines shortages that have been a growing source of concern for UK livestock sectors over recent years. The RUMA survey is open for responses until Friday 27 June at 5pm. Vets, farmers and SQPs are all encouraged to share any vaccine supply insights by answering a set of questions that aim to build a picture of what supply challenges each sector has been facing, and the short and long term impacts of these disruption issues. The survey can be accessed via this link : forms.office.com/e/D6EYM81Mi…
