This is the second case of haemonchosis (Haemonchus contortus, a blood-sucking abomasal worm) diagnosed in North East England this week. Screen your sheep (ewes and lambs) now, even if not scouring.

[Andy Robertson @Andy_1Robertson]

In England cattle can be classed as inconclusive TB reactors (IRs) following a TB test. But what happens next? As part of my work with farmers in Cornwall I have produced a summary of the rules/risks and other info on IRs. Download it here https://t.co/SOqi1UHkrU & on the TBhub

[AHDB Beef & Lamb @AHDB_BeefLamb]

CHAWG have pulled together some options for benchmarking antibiotic use on UK beef farms, and we would really welcome views from industry. You can find the consultation and supporting materials at https://t.co/yvQMwreaHx #HaveYourSay

WARNING: Look after Texel&Beltex Tups carefully in hot weather. They are prone to necrotic laryngitis. Risk of this increases in hot weather, when tups are panting. This increases turbulent airflow around arytenoids/laryngeal mucosa & leads to bacterial infection and swelling.

[Andy Robertson @Andy_1Robertson]

Summary of TB compensation rules produced as part of work i'm doing with Cornwall TBEG. Info is largely taken of various pages on https://t.co/SZg16TTPyv .Might be useful for those interested in #bovineTB @TB_Advisory
