Some of our staff took to the road for Workplace Walking Day 2026 today! 👟

Phones down, blue skies above and the midday sunshine , the perfect excuse to get moving, catch up with colleagues and enjoy some fresh air before heading back to a busy afternoon in the hospital and clinic. 💙

🚨ATTENTION ALL SPRING-CALVING HERDS 🚨

Now is the time to get your herd protected against Salmonella with Bovilis® Bovivac S.

Salmonella can cause serious disease in cattle, including scour, abortions, calf losses and even death, bringing huge financial costs, disruption and uncertainty at what is already one of the busiest times of the farming year.

Don’t wait until you have a problem. Put a vaccination programme in place before the risk period.

Protect your herd. Protect your calves. Protect your peace of mind.

Protect your herd against Salmonella. 🐄🦠

Bovilis Bovivac S is the ONLY vaccine for bovine salmonellosis, helping farmers take a proactive approach to protecting their herd.
