Sheep farmers to keep reporting suspect disease in their flocks to their vet, following the first detections of Shamonda virus (SHAV) in Great Britain.
The midge-borne virus was identified on two dairy cattle farms Wales in October 2026, picked up by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) through disease surveillance. SHAV has spread through several European countries during 2026, mainly in cattle, with the most recent cases in Jersey and the Republic of Ireland.
Scottish Government has previously provided funding for vets to provide awareness raising for small producers (up to 30 hectares) in Scotland on the latest lamb castration and tail docking guidance. We are pleased to be able to re-open the scheme, and are inviting vets to apply for funding to hold awareness raising sessions.
