Farmers urged to use BVD Stamp It Out funding
14 April 2021 |
The BVD Stamp it Out initiative was launched in 2018 by Defra to reduce the incidence and impact of the disease
Government funding available in England for vets to visit farms in a bid to tackle Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) is due to end in June.
Defra currently funds one-to-one on-farm advisory visits by a veterinary practitioner to work with keepers of breeding cattle to tackle the disease on their farms.
Funding is available to provide on-farm advice and for vets to work with clusters of cattle keepers, to share best practice and tackle the disease as a group.
The cost of the Elisa test and vet visit fees will be covered by the programme.
Each of the three regions will be divided into cluster areas, the number and size of which will be determined by the extent and layout of the identified hotspots.
The National Sheep Association, Adas, and the Farmer Network will administer the project in the South West, Midlands and North, respectively.
Flow of knowledge
“We hope the knowledge transfer flows two ways,” said Moredun’s Stewart Burgess, a leading researcher on the project.
“We will look to learn from farmers as well as teach them about scab, plunge dipping, biosecurity and the importance of testing. We will use this opportunity to benchmark the test on a larger scale than we did on the Isle of Mull in 2015.”
