Vets can sign up to get alerts from the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA).

Livestock alerts
If you are a vet working on farms you can sign up to get emails and texts from APHA’s Endemic and Emerging Disease Alert System (EEDAS) for farmed animals.
These alerts about significant disease are sent out by the APHA species expert groups and are independent of the notifiable disease alerts.
