Pre-purchase workshop to help equine vets
Changes, challenges and contentious issues to be covered

A clinical workshop has been organised to help vets better understand issues surrounding the equine pre-purchase examination (PPE).

The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) has arranged the interactive workshop in light of recent changes, challenges and contentious issues surrounding the PPE.

Held at the Manchester Conference Centre on Wednesday December 12, the one-day workshop will be led by those involved in the implementation of certificate changes.

Topics covered at the event will include radiography and the PPE, insurance and the PPE, what's different about vetting the thoroughbred racehorse, what's different about vetting the high value competition horse and contentious issues of the PPE.

Dr Philip Batty, former doctor for Manchester City Football Club, will also speak about how the PPE of premiership footballers compares with those of top equine athletes - to add a more genial touch to the day.

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.
