New Defra ‘Animal Disease: Plan, Prevent and Protect’ Webinars

Being aware of and prepared for the risk that notifiable and new and emerging diseases pose to animals, and maintaining effective biosecurity to protect them has never been more critical.

Find out what you can do to protect the health and welfare of animals you keep or work with from notifiable and reportable diseases (also known as listed diseases) by registering for one of Defra’s ‘Plan, Prevent and Protect’ webinars.

Leading policy officials, epidemiologists and veterinary professionals from Defra and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) will host these live events.

During the events there will also be an opportunity to ask questions about the rules you need to follow, control measures government may take and biosecurity best practice.
