In this video, part 2 of the disease surveillance video series, we take a look at a new condition described as 'small calf syndrome' which has been found on 3 farms in the Scottish Borders this spring. We hear from William Barrie at Rumbleton Farm who had a quarter of his spring calves affected by the condition and Alwyn Jones, SRUC Veterinary Investigation Officer and Lorna Shaw, SAC Ruminant Nutritionist tell us what investigations they have carried out in a bid to determine the cause.
Scotland’s Farm Advisory Service (FAS) is funded by the Scottish Government, providing information and resources aimed at increasing the profitability and sustainability of farms and crofts.
