Sheep Veterinary Society names new president
Nick Hart has been named president of the Sheep Veterinary Society.

Nick Hart has a special interest in sheep and dairy goat production

The Sheep Veterinary Society has named livestock production specialist Nick Hart as its new president.

Nick was elected at the Society’s autumn conference held in Dorset, taking over from Yoav Alony-Gilboa who becomes senior vice president.

Nick qualified from the RVC in 1976, spending 35 years in mixed practice. Before retirement, his special interest was in sheep and dairy goat health and production. He now works part-time for Animal Breeding Europe, a specialist Cattle, Sheep and Goat Reproduction Company.

Outside of work, Nick and his wife Mimi breed Pedigree Charollais Sheep, selling rams into the pedigree and commercial sheep farming sectors.

The Sheep Veterinary Society brings together vets, advisers and flock owners from all over the world who are interested in the welfare and production of sheep. It is a forum for education and discussion on all matters relating to sheep health and welfare.
