Disease Alert

Cryptosporidiosis is an increasingly common cause of scour in calves, and is more likely to become apparent as infection pressure increases over the winter months, but controlling an outbreak can be tricky. At this time of year, dystocia is also one of the most common health problems affecting sheep. In this month’s webinar, James Aitken, of Orchard Veterinary Group explains the key points in how best to manage these conditions.
