Call out for farmers and vets to participate in 2025 BTV-3 impact survey
From 31 October – 31 December 2025, farmers are being asked to take part in an industry led impact survey to help understand the impact of Bluetongue (BTV3) in the UK in 2025.
We want to hear from all farmers to understand how BTV-3 has impacted flocks and herds whether you have had confirmation of bluetongue in your livestock or not.
Battle Bluetongue campaign
The #BattleBluetongue campaign was launched in 2025 to encourage farmers to:
- ASSESS YOUR RISK
