Poor animal #welfare? #GeneEditing allows for improved welfare, including cattle that are less susceptible to heat stress and/or more resistant to disease; and cattle that are polled - eliminating the need for dehorning. Examine the science, not the knee-jerk rhetoric.

The Gov plans to deregulate #GeneEditing & risks locking us into farm systems with poor animal welfare & high chemical use.This is OUR food & environment.We're living through a pandemic caused by the destruction of natures systems. Help/links here👇🏾 10mins ow.ly/4t1850DV3kW

Enjoying catching up with the #Borborygmi podcasts in all this time at home. So many interesting stories and nuggets of wisdom being shared.

@ecollinswingate @VetShow @smashingceiling @VetsSGD @vettimesuk @ami_vet @ecollinswingate it’s nothing short of a travesty, but we must forge on

@VetShow @smashingceiling @VetsSGD @vettimesuk I heard the session with @ami_vet and @fi_boothby on the challenges of covid farm vetting this morning. It's amazing how resourceful people have become, and really highlighted how important your team are when you're on visits all day. No cups of tea on farm is pretty sad though!

Absolutely loved this!! Was sat feeling a bit disconnected today.. it was lovely to tune in to hear some insights from another corner of the profession. It always fills me up hearing from female leaders within the farm sector. Thank you frontline workers xx @ami_vet @fi_boothby

@naomi_the_vet Absolutely not. It is a verifiable statement of fact from our excellent pal @fi_boothby

Love a morning of podcast editing which involves one guest admitting they “have a very small bladder. It’s a problem.” To cut or not to cut that bit @ami_vet?! 🤔

@valefarmvets still at work supporting farmers maintaining the food chain + providing critical and emergency care for livestock.
Help us all stay safe: keep the length of a crush, a cow or a calving jack length between us!

There hasn't been a vet elected to parliament since 1884!
The input of a vet in parliament would be fantastic for dealing with issues of #animalwelfare, agriculture and tackling antimicrobial resistance #AMR.
Any support or RTs would be appreciated!

Remember reading that U.S. #dairy farmers cut the #carbonfootprint of a gallon of #milk by 63% between 1944 and 2007? Here's the update: a gallon of #milk produced in 2017 had a 19.2% lower carbon footprint than milk in 2007. Moo-nificent! academic.oup.com/jas/advance-ar… @P8_4ward

Does anyone know the answer to that? Guess we need a big/national identical twin heifer trial to find out?

@davidirwin1988 @KeithGue @Claydencows @BakersofHP It’s also hard to separate out the effects of growth and genetics... if a cow grows better and milks better, is that extra milk just because she grew more? Or did she grow better because she has better genes for growth and production, so she was always going to be milkier?!
