Excited to be taking part in the World One Health Congress discussing all things dairy cows and antimicrobial auditing. Take home message - overall antimicrobials reduced by 42% and HP-CIA’s reduced by 100% #BeTheChange https://t.co/2fEndRkJkw

Government must listen as Agriculture Bill amendment on animal welfare standards voted through in the House of Lords, say vets. Good news for once https://t.co/GKf8dmKlwW

When ur forage team is in the field overlooking Weymouth Bay, having just finished drilling maize & 1/2 way thru first cut silage but they want to join in at 8pm.

This is how you #ClapForTheNHS farmer style!

Huge well done to the team at JF Cobb & Sons in Dorset

Didn’t think I could respect @Nigelrefowens any further and then he demonstrates an acute awareness of the UK Agri industry. #respect. Hope you got to Venice eventually Nigel

[Nigel Owens MBE @Nigelrefowens]

@GeorgeMonbiot And u could also do the same. Non biased fair reporting wd help. Not like the recent programmes on meat & agriculture which was heavily based on south America & USA and not on the sustainable farming of Wales and Uk. We all have a part to play but at least let’s be honest & fair

@VetSalus @ the Climate Change and Farming Conference on the Blackdown Hills - Despite what we are told otherwise only 10% of Greenhouse Gas (GHGs) emissions come from UK Farming and methane breaks down up to 10 times faster than other GHGs. Let’s ensure science dictates policy

There has been some recent social media publicity surrounding a naked calendar produced by the student union of the RVC. In particular, one of the images appears to have been singled out for comment. See our full statement on this at https://t.co/nzXaTLKx9T

[David Black @DHBVet]

We as vets and farmers should be proud of this achievement but not complacent - there is much work to do to have truly sustainable farming @VetSalus @Vet_Sustain @XLVets

[Alasdair Moffett @asmoffett]

@SynergyFarmVets interesting case of Pieris poisoning in ewe lambs after getting into owner’s garden. Not great for the sheep but good to get a definitive diagnosis!

[Alasdair Moffett @asmoffett]

Fascinating article in this week’s ⁦@vettimesuk⁩ and true in stating it’s impossible to believe surgery existed for thousands of years and was performed on people without any form of anaesthesia. ⁦⁦@VetSalus

[Alasdair Moffett @asmoffett]

@VetSalus work to be getting on with...

[Dr Simon Doherty @simondocvet]

@ChiefVetUK offers a few closing thoughts at #RUMA19, from her perspective as CVO - what is the narrative around our #AnimalHealth & #AnimalWelfare success stories and how do we frame ‘Brand UK’ on the #GlobalStage 🇬🇧 #AMR #AMU #vaccination #biosecurity #OneHealth #standards 🌍

[Alasdair Moffett @asmoffett]

And what a good story teller he is...@HertsFarmer thoroughly enjoyed you speaking Stuart @RUMA_UK @VetSalus @Vet_Sustain

[NOAH @UKNOAH]

I have become a storyteller about farming - and one of the best chapters has been the work of RUMA says @HertsFarmer #RUMA19

[Alasdair Moffett @asmoffett]

@VetSalus

[Dr Simon Doherty @simondocvet]

Fantastic news - well done #UK #farmers & #vets - we’ve hit our 2020 target two years early! Still plenty of 3Rs work to do on #AMU in #livestock but we’re absolutely going the right way! New #VARSS figures presented by Kitty Healey @vmdgovuk 💉 #RUMA19 💊

[Alasdair Moffett @asmoffett]

@VetSalus @Vet_Sustain

[CIELivestock @CIELivestock1]

⁦@vmdgovuk⁩ summary of progress #RUMA19 in reducing #antibiotic use in #UKlivestock sector. Outright leader in Europe of major livestock countries!

[Alasdair Moffett @asmoffett]

Further @VetSalus is the resistance trends are also declining. AMR gives us the excuse to do the sort of proactive, preventive veterinary medicine encouraging sustainable future farming. Well said @simondocvet and @ChiefVetUK

[Alasdair Moffett @asmoffett]

@VetSalus Great to have the 2018 antibiotic sales data today from the @vmdgovuk at the @RUMA_UK conference - Since 2014 antibiotic sales are down 53%, HP-CIA use down by two thirds, and the UK the lowest in Europe of countries that have significant agriculture sectors #OneHealth

[Alasdair Moffett @asmoffett]

@OutdoorsRadar the statement in November’s magazine in TJ Waterfall’s nutrition article that animal products contain antibiotics is deeply flawed. Misinformation such as this is likely to hinder rather than help reader’s eating a balanced healthy diet
