Neospora

[geoff parcell]

Neospora abortion is now the most commonly diagnosed cause of abortion in cattle and is a serious concern for UK farmers. It can be caused by cattle ingesting the protozoan parasite Neospora Caninum which may be carried by dogs and excreted in their faeces. With your help the risk of cattle being infected can be reduced by picking up and disposing of your dogs faeces. Responsibly.

A new leaflet entitled ‘Enjoy the countryside responsibly with your dog’ is available to view on the NFU website. www.nfuonline.com/back-british-farming/our-top-content/latest-you-y...
