Episode 15

Tuesday, April 15, 2025 • Duration 01:14:51

Ep 15: TB or not TB? – Measures to curb the spread

In this episode we discuss the hot topic of bovine TB, following the new TB proposals. We take a look at these proposals and discuss their possible implications for the future if they're adopted.

We also meet three vets who are grappling with bovine TB. Professor James Wood, from Cambridge explains how our understanding has changed in the last 10 years; Sarah Tomlinson who has worked with the UKs TB Advisory Service explains how private practitioners and their farmers can work together to reduce the risks on each individual farm and Clare man Brendan Griffin enthusiastically describes the Pembrokeshire project. Damien Barrett from the Department discusses how we can apply some of these messages in an Irish context and emphasizes the need for change in our approach to tackling TB.

We have also included our new segment in this episode “What’s happening out and about?”, keeping you up to date with the latest in what’s going on with vets all around the country.

Ep 1.1: Udder Health – Drying Off (Part 1) (Re-release)

Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 01:03:52

Ep 1: Udder Health – Drying Off (Part 1) (Re-release)

With the drying-off season fast approaching — and all the challenges it brings — we’re diving back into a previous episode packed with practical insights.

Charles chats with Willie Buckley, based in Bandon, Co. Cork, to discuss if farmers in the area are welcoming the transition from the blanket use of antibiotics in cattle to, now, placing careful selection over which cows are to receive antibiotic treatment, as part of the Cell Check Training Program with Animal Health Ireland.

Looking overseas, hear Charles also interview New Zealand-based practitioner, Ryan Luckman, CEO of Agvisory.nz, due to the similar challenges the country is facing, alongside Ireland, with block spring calving herds at grass. Following on, Charles and Willie look to critically analyse Ryan's insights, including the confidence he inspires in taking the first few steps towards drastically reducing the use of antibiotic tubes, in order for the process to become the accepted norm, along with his emphasis of the importance of hygiene and technique.

Also featured is a discussion between Charles and Maura Langan, Veterinary Advisor and Commercial and Technical Manager at Norbrook, regarding moving away from blanket dry therapy in order to decrease antimicrobial usage.
