Circovirus in British cattle - more
|
| |
Pat's Note: A lot more information has been published. I will give the two sources in full to make them searchable. Apparently, this intriguing disease captures the imagination of Britain's veterinarians. It should be giving them the screaming habdabs and sleepless nights "Up to the end of September [2009], 37 calves on 31 farms have been... more »

Tracy Worcester's film makes Wilkipedia
|
| |
Pat's Note: I do not agree with everything, but this is a major article and highlights the dangers of MRSA in pigs. It is on the agenda now, despite the massive efforts of Britain's hopelessly corrupt veterinary industry to cover up their guilt. [link]

USA - E.Coli 0157: H7 from petting includes pigs
|
| |
Pat's Note: Interesting news report about E.Coli 0157: H7 reaching children in a "petting" environment in the USA.

|
| |
Pat's Note: "An incredible 96 per cent of farm antibiotics are used in pigs and poultry, the two most intensively farmed species.

UK E. coli 0157:H7 Outbreak
|
| |
Pat's Note: As you can see, the USA is getting more and more suspicious of Britain's continuing zoonotic disease outbreaks "E. coli O157:H7 keeps popping up in the strangest places in the United Kingdom."

Farm Antibiotics
|
| |
Pat's Note: Too weak and a touch xenophobic, but otherwise welcome. The Soil Association are far too keen to keep in with a corrupt Defra. They should be running them into the ground. The membership are entitled to much stronger unequivocal words on their behalf. You can't do much sitting on committees with world class failures.... more »

Just in case you wondered
|
| |
I went into hospital for what was really two operations on Tuesday last and came home yesterday morning. The operations were longer than planned - 5 and a half hours, but so far, it looks good, very good. I was sent home in less than half the usual time, because the hospital went on black alert - for obvious reasons - and they had no beds. I... more »

Hepatitis C from pigs to people especially vets
|
| |
Pat's Note: Phew! The Veterinary industry is a dead end in more ways than one. "Research to antibodies in veterinarians and a representative number of members of the public showed that among the vets working intensively with pigs was the highest percentage of infected people (11%)."
