The Animal & Plant Health Agency (APHA) recognises the challenges faced by farmers during the COVID-19 pandemic and is contingency planning for reduced veterinary capacity to carry out tests. TB Hub is an excellent resource for updated information. https://t.co/b39S7b235B

To safeguard our staff & adhere to the rules on essential travel, BCVA has closed the Gloucester HQ, however the staff are now operating remotely from their homes. We will aim to offer a full service, and appreciate your understanding if things take a little more time.

Well done to the BCVA team, they've put in a tremendous amount of work, liaising with e.g APHA, to ensure the safety of farm vets, farmers and food supply well as animal welfare whenever possible in these strange times. Keep at a cow's length distance everybody!

BCVA has prepared this important COVID-19 guidance for farm vets https://t.co/qfuYnml1KQ

[BCVA @theBCVA]

This pandemic experience is a challenge in collective responsibility & collaboration. Luckily, the farm vet profession and its farming communities have these relationships already. Let’s keep caring for each other by keeping our distance. 2 Metres is all it takes. Please share.

Very poor show at Edinburgh airport wrt ASF signposting: only 2 tiny posters to warn about what you can't bring in if you can be bothered to get out of your way to get to them to read it...

[APHA @APHAgovuk]

Over Christmas, please remember the feeding rules for pigs & all livestock species – it is illegal to feed them catering waste & domestic kitchen scraps. This is to prevent devastating animal diseases such like #AfricanSwineFever https://t.co/jp9l7qlyx1 #PigKeepers #SmalHoldersUK

This is why it is illegal to feed kitchen waste to pigs! This disease has already devastated the pig industry (and thus families) in many other countries, please let the UK not be one of them. https://t.co/LexAnfeYBe

The most likely way #AfricanSwineFever will reach the UK is in infected #pork brought back from affected countries by members of the public from their travels. Please don’t risk bringing pork back! https://t.co/mHqsbXEq9o … #Holidayspic.twitter.com/OPMwiUM5lv
