The circulating BTV3 variant in South West England has prompted discussion on social media forums leading to comments that the likelihood of midge-biting sheep and therefore BTV3 infection will be reduced in fully fleeced sheep and that farmers should not sheep their sheep to reduce risks*.
The National Sheep Association (NSA) and the Sheep Veterinary Society (SVS) are working together to provide helpful, practical guidance for UK farmers as the number of bluetongue (BTV) cases continue to rise and we approach the time of year when breeding and store sheep sales peak.
