Scottish BVD Eradication Phase 6: What has been achieved, what’s happening next in phase 6, and how our neighbours are doing

Join our free webinar with SRUC Vet Helen Carty to find out what's next for Scotland in the BVD Eradication Scheme's Phase 6. We'll give you a roundup of the progress made towards BVD eradication in Scotland so far, discuss the challenges encountered, and explore the next steps needed to overcome these. In addition, we'll hear how other countries are tackling the disease in comparison.
