Westpoint Farm Vets

TBAS is championing the hard work and effort many farmers are doing to reduce the risk of a TB breakdown and the impact TB can have on farm businesses.

Sarah Tomlinson, veterinary surgeon at Westpoint Farm Vets in Derbyshire and Technical Director of the TB Advisory Service (TBAS), was named Dairy Vet of the Year at the Cream Awards on 5th February 2020.

Francis Sabbe has joined the well-established specialist farm vet group, Westpoint Farm Vets, at its practice in Louth, Lincolnshire.

Biobest has recently partnered with Pyramid Travel Products to produce a Lyme Disease Test Kit which can be used to test ticks, removed from humans or animals, for the presence of the causative agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi.

This winter, Lincolnshire saw its fair share of 'The Beast from the East". The deep snow didn't bring the county to a complete standstill as life had to carry on.

Biobest Laboratories are pleased to announce the launch of its poultry laboratory.

Salmonellosis in cattle can cause serious economic losses in affected herds as well as infection of humans through occupational exposure (contact with faeces of infected animals) and consumption of contaminated meat or dairy products.

At the global conference on rabies elimination in 2015, a common goal of zero human deaths from canine rabies by 2030 was agreed by the World Health Organization, World Organisation for Animal Health, UN Food and Agriculture Organization and GARC.

Cattle keepers will soon be able to access specialist advice on building resilience to bovine tuberculosis (bTB), through a TB Advisory Service to be launched this autumn.

To help provide the progressive service that today's modern commercial poultry enterprises demand, Poultry Health Services, Minster Poultry & Gamebird Vets and Retford Poultry Partnership are joining forces under the one name Poultry Health Service.
