OBTAINING BLOOD SAMPLES FROM SHEEP
Today on the farm we have had the vet out to test the flock for Maedi visna also known as MV. A great insight into blood testing

Very informative! Sheep are looking great!

Thank you so much

Interesting video,never heard of that test before. Is it just the one disease she checks for or does she check for others and do you have to pay for it?

[@CowleyHillFarm]

So she is checking mainly for MV but then I’m wanting to test for iceberg diseases too in the future. So for a lot of sheep that are shown in the England they have to be MV accredited and this gives your a certification to prove you’re MV free basically. We have to pay the vets to take the bloods and labs to test them

Is it in Lleyn temper or is it just your ewes so easy to handle?😁

[@CowleyHillFarm]
