Where clients have imported cattle that are to be tested by DAERA for Bluetongue virus, the blood samples may also be tested for BVD in the AFBI laboratory. Clients importing cattle may contact you to request that you complete a submission form, the link for which follows:
https://www.afbini.gov.uk/sites/afbini.gov.uk/files/publications/Farm%20Animal%20Submission%20Form_051018.pdf
Your client should have been given a DAERA Test Identification number by the AHWI taking the samples. Please write the DAERA Test Identification number for the sample on the form and add a note that the sample result is to be uploaded to the BVD Programme.
If you have any questions, please contact AFBI’s DSIB or AHWNI, as appropriate.

Changes to the Administration of the DAERA EU Pet Passport Scheme – LOOK OUT FOR THE LETTER!
DAERA are preparing to implement changes to the administration of the EU Pet Passport Scheme with effect from Monday 7 January 2019. To assist with the preparations for this change, eligible Veterinary Practices in Northern Ireland, i.e. those with an Authorised Veterinary Inspector (AVI) approved for certification of Pets are now being invited to apply to DAERA to register their intention to continue to supply Pet Passports. Your practice should receive a letter this week outlining the process and what you have to do to ensure that your practice is involved. The deadline for responses is 16 November 2018. If no response is received by this date, it will be assumed that your practice does not wish to participate in this scheme.
If you believe you are eligible and don’t receive or can’t find your letter, drop tradeadminpost@daera-ni.gov.uk a line as soon as possible.

Peter Brown – AVSPNI Autumn Conference guest extraordinaire!
What a fantastic AVSPNI Autumn Conference guest SPVS President, Peter Brown, is proving to be! He’s raising funds for our very own Vet Support Northern Ireland by climbing Slieve Donard (and a host of other peaks too). Peter says “You may have heard that during the summer I have been climbing peaks in Great Britain, from Brown Willy in Cornwall to Ben Nevis in Scotland, to raise money for Vetlife, and I am looking forward to concluding my President’s Peaks by climbing Slieve Donard on Friday 12th October. On this occasion I’d like to raise money for Vet Support NI. It is so encouraging to see this recent initiative, supporting the wellbeing of the profession in Northern Ireland, and I’m sure you’d like to join me in supporting such a worthwhile cause.”
Peter is being accompanied by AVSPNI president Phil Walsh and a handful of other intrepid NI vets. You can sponsor them via the Just Giving crowdfunding page set up for this purpose.
