BSAVA launches new video library
"Users will also be able to see more easily how many library passes they have left" - Ian Mellor, head of publishing at the BSAVA.

The new library contains over 400 videos. 

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has launched a new video library within the BSAVA Library website.

Containing over 400 videos on clinical topics, the video library will feature content on a large number of topics, including imaging, neurology, endoscopy and endosurgery, among many others.

Video content is also searchable in the new library, making it easier to find specific content and more user-friendly.

Head of publishing at the BSAVA, Ian Mellor, commented on the launch of the new video library: “We are delighted that we can bring this new feature to the BSAVA Library, giving our audience easier access to great video content.

“This is part of a few enhancements to the library where we hope to give users a better experience.

“Users will also be able to see more easily how many library passes they have left, and they will now be able to see recommended related resources next to the content, meaning that they can easily find information under the same topic without having to search extensively.”

BSAVA members will automatically have access to over 80 videos, and if a user does not have access to a particular video they wish to view, they can use a BSAVA library pass to gain access to the parent chapter. Users can also purchase access to an individual chapter or entire manual.

Bluetongue RZ extended across Scotland

The Scottish Government has announced an extension to a Bluetongue Restricted Zone that is in place in south-west Scotland.

From 3 October, the Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the whole of Scotland. The Animal, Plant and Health Agency (APHA) says this is in response to further disease spread, as well as simplify trading conditions ahead of the autumn.

Since the whole country will share a disease status, it will no longer be necessary to have a movement license to move susceptible livestock around the country. Restrictions on germinal products remain.

As of 1 October 2026, there were 1,979 cases of BTV-3 in England, 389 cases in Wales and 40 cases in Scotland.
