Vets are being invited to learn more on the subject of practical flock health management at a sheep webinar next month.

The webinar, on 28 February from 12:30pm to 2pm, is based on the BVA’s In Practice 2023 series of 10 peer-reviewed papers – which was sponsored by Elanco – and will bring together a panel of vets and animal health consultants.

Topics

Topics to be covered include:

  • Fertility management and improving flock returns
  • An update on the cost of blowfly strike control
  • Improving lamb survival rates
  • Using health and performance data to maximise sheep production
  • Advances in the control of gastrointestinal roundworms in sheep

Panel

A panel will consist of Fiona Lovatt, past-president of the Sheep Veterinary Society; Jenny Hull, of Black Sheep Farm Health, Northumberland; Lesley Stubbings, a lead member of SCOPS; and independent sheep vet consultant Phillipa Page.

Chaired by Elanco’s technical consultant Matt Colston, delegates will have a chance to question panelists during the webinar.
