Vets and VNs invited to equine anthelmintics webinar
"It’s a must for all those involved with prescribing” - Penny McCann, Zoetis.
Session will explore recommended approaches to help slow resistance.

Zoetis is launching a free CPD webinar exploring the latest advice on the best practice use of anthelmintics and the responsible use of moxidectin in horses.

Open to RAMAs, vets and vet nurses, the session will cover the current situation and recommended approaches to help slow resistance. It will culminate with a live Q&A hosted by Zoetis vet Dr Wendy Talbot giving attendees a chance to discuss any queries or questions they hear from clients. 

“Our webinars continue to be very well received,” said Zoetis equine product manager, Penny McCann. “This one is particularly important as it explains the important new thinking around the use of anthelmintics in order to address the serious challenge of resistance. It’s a must for all those involved with prescribing.”

The webinar will be held on Wednesday, 26th October 11 am and will be repeated at 7.30 pm for those unable to listen during the day. 

Each session will last for around one hour, equating to eight AMTRA CPD points.

Bluetongue low vector period ends

In an update to its bluetongue guidance, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has announced that the seasonal low vector period for the disease has ended.

With winter over, Defra is planning for a possible increase in cases as midges become more active. It has warned that farms along the east coast of England from Norfolk to Kent, and along the south coast from Kent to Devon, are at highest risk from infected midges blown over from northern Europe.

Since the virus was detected in England in November 2023, there have been 126 confirmed cases. The most recent case to be confirmed was on 1 March 2024.

Farmers are asked to continue to frequently monitor their livestock and ensure their animals and land are registered with the Animal and Plant Health Agency.
