New booklet on sustainable parasite control
The booklet explores the control of liver fluke, roundworm and sheep scab.
Resource will help farmers make informed decisions about parasite control.

The Moredun Foundation has announced the publication of a new booklet for sheep and cattle farmers on sustainable parasite control.

The free, downloadable guide explores the control of three major parasites: liver fluke, roundworm and sheep scab, focusing on their sheep and cattle hosts. It also explains how these can be easily incorporated into livestock systems.

Lee Innes, director of communications at Moredun said: “We have a major research programme at Moredun to develop sustainable methods to prevent and control parasitic diseases in livestock and a vital element of that involves testing and monitoring to enable farmers to make informed decisions about parasite control.

“We have summarised the information in this special edition and we hope it will be helpful and useful to livestock farmers”.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
