LLM Farm Vets Newsletter June 2019
this month we’re trying to do our bit with the global plastic problem - every little helps. Rob Howe gives us a very in-depth look at why dung beetles are good for farms. Dan Stevenson discusses scab in Ewes News and Steph highlights the benefits of worm egg counts towards combating wormer resistance. We hope you enjoy! And as always, any questions, give us a shout.

What are we doing?<br />
1. Reducing our use of plastic bags for<br />
meds<br />
a. If collecting, feel free to bring<br />
your own reusable bag or box<br />
b. We will aim to use cardboard<br />
boxes we have deliveries in, instead<br />
of plastic bags<br />
c. We have sourced some recycled<br />
paper bags – please let us know<br />
what you think of the quality<br />
2. Getting involved in the community<br />
a. Recently, members of the<br />
practice in Lancashire organised<br />
a ‘mass unwrap event’ at Booths<br />
Supermarket in Garstang.<br />
b. Whitchurch are using a local<br />
dairy for milk delivered in reusable<br />
glass bottles.<br />
Both Hazel in Whitchurch & Rob in<br />
Lancashire have been putting their<br />
heads together to find ways in which<br />
we can reduce our impact as a practice.<br />
We hope you will be supportive of our<br />
efforts and get involved by giving us<br />
more ideas and solutions.<br />
If you have any ideas on this please<br />
give us a call.<br />
