Each week, the email will cover a different topic concerning either dairy, beef, sheep, pigs, poultry or gamebirds. The information, which is personalised with the practice details, can then be forwarded to clients who have an interest in that particular area, for example a resource on mastitis could be sent to dairy farmers and their staff.
Mike Howe, Veterinary Director at NADIS said: "We are confident that practices will recognise the value of the NADIS material and utilise this free service, as it will not only help to raise disease awareness, but will also assist vets in encouraging farmers to think about optimising their herd health. All NADIS materials promote veterinary health planning as the most effective way of preventing disease, and promote the vet’s role on the farm."
The resources also offer an opportunity for farmers and their staff to gain a City & Guilds unit of accreditation. A module can be completed by passing all the quizzes from each disease resource, providing an easy and flexible way for farmers and farm employees to gain recognised qualifications.
