Bluetongue awareness and raising vaccination
Over the next few months, farmers and their vets are facing tough choices, due to the uncertainty around the spread and severity of Bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV3), which crossed the channel from Europe in August 2024 into the UK.
Bluetongue
The livestock industry has come together to launch a nationwide survey to better understand the impact of bluetongue virus on UK farms.
