The Parasight
Welcome to this month's edition of The Parasight. We’re taking parasite-threat updates to the next level with our new collaboration with post-mortem vet Ben Strugnell BVM&S Cert PM MRCVS from Farm Post Mortems, who will share with us timely, on-the-ground footage.
Understanding what’s actually happening in flocks around the UK will give you more insights on what you should be looking out for with your own animals.
