Sustainable Sheep Systems – Consumer & Animal Health

Part two of this series will focus on using flock health planning to reduce antibiotic use in our sheep flocks.

In 2014, 700,000 people were reported to have died globally because of antimicrobial resistance and by 2050 this is expected to overtake cancer as a cause of death. Therefore, it is no surprise the consumer is interested in agriculture’s use of antibiotics.

In this webinar we will be joined by independent sheep vet Fiona Lovatt to learn more about proactive flock health planning strategies to reduce antibiotic use across the industry and Emma Harle from Brandon Hall Farm who has benefited first hand from flock health planning.
