HORIBA to host raw feeding and parasite testing webinar
"The recent trend of increasing raw feeding opens up new opportunities for pathogen transmission" - Ian Wright, MRCVS.

The free webinar will discuss testing best practice.

HORIBA is hosting a veterinary CPD webinar on raw feeding, parasite testing and control, and has invited veterinary surgeon Ian Wright to discuss testing best practice with regard to raw feeding.

Taking place on Thursday 27 January, the webinar is free to attend, and will begin at 7.30pm. 

The webinar will discuss the importance of testing when feeding raw diets to reduce the risk of parasitic or bacterial threats to both pets and humans, and will further educate veterinary professionals on the pathogens and parasites associated with raw feeding, alongside which tests to use and when to use them. 

Ian Wright, head of the European Scientific Council for Companion Animal Parasites (ESCCAP) UK and Ireland, who will share his knowledge on the subject, said: “The recent trend of increasing raw feeding opens up new opportunities for pathogen transmission. 

“Where raw feeding is taking place, adequate tapeworm and protozoal parasite prevention is essential to reduce zoonotic risk and economic losses.

“Testing forms an essential part of their control, and understanding this role and the diagnostic test options available will prove valuable to all veterinary professionals.”

Following Ian's presentation, there will be an open Q&A session with him, and HORIBA's veterinary specialists will be available for further discussion and advice at the end of the webinar.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
