@edthrumsvets I had a 3700 yesterday, including a few nematodirus..

[John Hemingway @SheepVetShrops]

But most importantly it’s been recorded on the @XLVets scab incidence survey!

[John Hemingway @SheepVetShrops]

Well, I guess it’s autumn then #teamsheep #sheepscab

@LaDavies93 Nice to see you’re going to the correct vet school

[John Hemingway @SheepVetShrops]

Body condition scoring, tup breeding soundness exam +/- semen analysis, trace element testing, thin ewe screening, lamb growth rate review, fluke exposure check, abortion vaccination.. all things we can be doing now to avoid production losses in the next lambing cycle #teamsheep

@fannieculox @SteynsburgVet All mammals can get rabies, but because it is spread through saliva and therefore also via bites, we think of aggressive dogs as the stereotype.

@edthrumsvets Got a couple to do later Ed, do you have the link to the XL survey you could send me? Think I’ve lost the one I got from Colm. Cheers!

Interesting to visit a flock last week which attributed chronic BCS loss in ewes to early fluke after grazing a new rented pasture. Investigation and a PM found Haemonchus (barber's pole) worm to be the culprit. Proper diagnosis is paramount to get treatment correct! #teamsheep

First of (hopefully) many bottles of @DairyWinsbury milk from the new milk vending machine at @MoorFarmShop #baschurch get it while it's fresh!

@Rupert_Sheppard @Em_the_SheepVet @FlockHealth If peak daytime temps are v high by the time average temps are warm enough for nem to hatch in spring, then the hatching can be delayed until later in year. Also now some documented cases of 2 nem hatches in one year where overwintering has not been needed for eggs to hatch. 👍🏻

[John Hemingway @SheepVetShrops]

@edthrumsvets You powered through that Ed!

[Ed Thrums Vets @edthrumsvets]

Startling stuff and also testament to the commitment with which U.K. farmers and those that advise them have decided to produce food in a more sustainable manner, whilst increasing standards of welfare and environmental custodianship

[John Hemingway @SheepVetShrops]

@Em_the_SheepVet really thought provoking CPD, thanks a lot 👍

[John Hemingway @SheepVetShrops]

@edthrumsvets Good work Ed!

Great to see https://t.co/VgcLLZtSFg making an appearance in @BritishDairying this month! Showcasing how attention to detail pays off in high yielding herds.

[John Hemingway @SheepVetShrops]

@shepherd__jo Wouldn’t want to leave them in one for a long time but handy if you’re not near a fence post!
