    Do away with subsidies

    Afraid not! I'm currently working in NZ and I would say most medicines are more expensive except for the big volume purchases- drenches etc. e.g. 100ml betmox $58 Welfare I would say was on par with UK - a lot less climate related diseases for one, average SCC is lower here but lameness is an...

    Fluke treatments in cattle

    I hate TB testing!

    Just to add that it is a requirement by animal health that ear tag numbers are checked on both the first day and reading day so anyone admitting that their vets do not do this is open to being investigated. What do you all think of this...

Have to say that i had the best time there and wouldn't have changed a thing. Made loads of friends that i hope to keep for a...
