Tackling Sheep Scab (in association with Moredun)

This episode is brought to you from SCOPS in association with the Moredun Research Institute in Midlothian. 

Sheep scab has been around for centuries, but what is it, why is it so difficult to control and how can it be controlled?

Ben's co-host today is  Dr Stew Burgess, who leads the sheep scab group at the Moredun Research Institute.

Ben and Stew are joined by Ian May who is a sheep farmer and south west regional manager from the NSA and Karen Swindlehurst who is an experienced farm vet with Dalehead vet group. Both Karen and Ian were coordinators for the RDPE funded sheep scab initiative that we’re going to discuss a but later on.
