Bluetongue, Disease information
Scanning and lambing are stressful, busy times for vets and farmers, even more so when things go wrong. At these times it is still imperative to use evidence to guide our thinking and actions. The Bluetongue (BTV) and Schmallenberg (SBV) viruses have dominated so much of our thoughts and conversations in the last few months. Even so, where they are suspected, testing for these viruses is essential, not only for national surveillance purposes, but also for animal health and welfare.
