Proagrica Animal Health joins NOAH as associate member
"Data and digital products and services are increasingly important for the animal health industry" - Dawn Howard, NOAH.
The firm provides data and digital products for the animal health industry.

The National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) has welcomed Proagrica Animal Health as an associate member.

Proagrica Animal Health provides digital and data products and services to the veterinary, agriculture and animal health industries. With more than 25 years of experience, the company has offices in Portsmouth, Sutton and central London.

NOAH chief executive Dawn Howard commented: “We are delighted to welcome Proagrica Animal Health to NOAH and look forward to working with them. 

"Data and digital products and services are increasingly important for the animal health industry, from the need for greater efficiencies to improve productivity and sustainability, through to the demand for increased traceability of the food we eat." 

She added: “The UK animal health and medicines industry is high-value, high-growth, high-skilled and invaluable to the UK’s fast-developing life sciences sector.”

Richard Sibbit, managing director of Proagrica Animal Health, said: “We have joined NOAH to understand the challenges of the animal health industry so that we can help address some of them.

"We believe NOAH will also provide a great networking opportunity with the aim to raise the visibility of Proagrica and to connect to others within the industry. We are looking to get fully involved and provide a ‘digital voice’ to relevant sub-committees.”

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.
