NOAH campaign puts industry In focus
"We're delighted to see that so many people are keen to show what animal health means to them."
Profession shows what animal health means to them

A new campaign showcasing stories and photographs that show what animal health looks like has been unveiled today (17 November) at the London Vet Show.

Created by NOAH (National Office of Animal Health), Industry in Focus is an ongoing campaign to illustrate what animal health looks like from a range of perspectives. It includes contributions from industry, stakeholders, charities, the political community and the pet-owning public.

Contributions to date include medical detection dogs, livestock that plays a vital role in our lives and household pets. The campaign aims to build the ultimate picture of animal health in the UK and set out how we can ensure its successful future.

NOAH chief executive Dawn Howard said: "We're delighted to see that so many people are keen to show what animal health means to them. With such breadth of images, it's fascinating to see so many different perspectives and we look forward to many more.

“Animal health means something very different to each and every one of us. The images showcased through the contributions highlight what a varied and inspiring industry we work in and the passion of the people involved in it.
 
“The campaign is all about keeping animal health at the forefront of everyone’s minds, not only to celebrate the work that we, as an industry, do to keep animals happy and healthy, but also to address challenges that have the potential to put our animals’ health at risk, and ensure that the UK continues to lead the way for good animal health and welfare.”

Government releases latest bluetongue statistics

APHA has confirmed the number of bluetongue cases that have been logged in the UK since 1 July 2026.

The total number of BTV-3 cases, as of 6 August, is 187. This includes 183 cases in England and four cases in Wales.

There have been no recorded cases in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The location of premises in Great Britain where at least one animal has tested positive by PCR for BTV-3, BTV-8 or BTV-12 is available on the bluetongue case map. All livestock keepers in Great Britain are urged to familiarise themselves with nation-specific bluetongue control policies.

Bluetongue virus is a notifiable disease. It is a legal requirement that any suspicions, even if livestock has been vaccinated, are reported immediately.
