NSA welcomes the UK Ruminant Antibiotic Stewardship Roadmap and its call for a national reporting framework. Both will help the sheep sector prove its low antibiotics use with robust data.

NSA helped shape the roadmap, which launched yesterday at British Cattle Veterinary Association (BCVA) Congress.

In most cases, many sheep systems are low users of antibiotics. The aim of the roadmap is to gather evidence to prove what we in the industry already know to be true.

NSA is inviting sheep farmers to advertise lambing placements through the NSA Lambing List, helping them find extra support on farm while giving students valuable hands-on experience.

Sheep farmers can now submit placements to the NSA Lambing List for the 2027 lambing season. Adverts will be available for students to browse in November, giving them time to find a suitable placement ahead of lambing.

The service is an exclusive benefit of NSA membership. Sheep farmers who are not yet members can find out more about membership on the NSA website 🔗 by @nationalsheep

The survey aimed to understand what more can be done to help with any potential outbreaks in future. When asked about ordering vaccine in advance through their vet, 74% of respondents were open to this approach. This level of interest would equate to approximately 350,000 doses.
