LIVESTOCK MATTERS
WORKING
TOGETHER
FOR A HEALTHIER FUTURE...
As with all our national farm shows this year,
the stand focused on our ‘Make Your Farm
Your Fortress’ campaign giving farmers
advice on how to prevent biosecurity
breakdowns on farm and keeping diseases
out of their stock.
Our award winning BVD Free & BVD
CHECK TAG initiatives also featured heavily
on the stand with many of the visitors already
aware of the campaign’s messages through
exposure in the farming press and taking part
in the RDPE funded work in England through
the XLVets Training Services team.
There was also, as ever a lot of interest in
our FarmSkills workshop dates, from students
and farmers alike, with many asking to be
kept informed of training and development
opportunities in the coming year.
A huge thank you
must go out to
all the willing volunteers from local
practices who helped out on the day
and did a fantastic job of getting
visitors onto the stand and educating
visitors on aspects of the initiatives
we are running.
Success in Scotland

AgriScot 2014 got off to a great start with a large and enthusiastic crowd descending
on the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh for what was to be their biggest show yet.
