Dear Members
We are sure many of you will already have seen in the national press and social media the discovery of Foot & Mouth in Germany.
See DEFRA website
As ever this is a timely reminder to step up and maintain your bio-security measures on your premises and when you have been to market or a show.
In 2024 Spot Press you will find here Are you ready for a diease outbreak? There are also numerous articles in past Spot Press about bio-security measures which you can find on the website.
Autumn 2020 – Protecting your herd when buying in stock
Spring 2020 – Bio-Security at Shows
Summer 2019 – Bio-Security
Whilst we do not wish to scaremonger, we cannot be complacent and must remain vigilant at all times.
Trust to have kept you informed
Mandy Garbutt
