RUMA Agriculture is seeking information from the UK livestock sectors for a new survey on vaccine availability.

RUMA Agriculture has launched an online survey designed to gather insights from vets, farmers and SQPs about the vaccines shortages that have been a growing source of concern for UK livestock sectors over recent years.

The RUMA survey is now live and will close on Friday 27 June at 5pm.

Vets, farmers and SQPs are all encouraged to share any vaccine supply insights by answering a set of questions that aim to build a picture of what supply challenges each sector has been facing, and the short and long term impacts of these disruption issues.听

Cat McLaughlin, RUMA Agriculture Chair and NFU Chief Animal Health and Welfare Adviser, said: 鈥淰accine shortages and disruption to supply, is not something that can be solved overnight.

鈥淲e know this is a complex area with many variables at play, and therefore we want to use the insights we gather from this survey to work directly with livestock sectors and the roles that work in the industry, to explore the best way to 鈥榗ope with鈥 shortages until solutions can be found for the medium and long term.鈥

If you encounter any problems accessing this survey, please email [email protected][email protected].
