SEFARI researchers (James Hutton Institute and SRUC) provide analytical support and expert advice to inform future agricultural policy decisions in Scotland.

Scotland’s eradication programme for Bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) is based on animal health, economic and environmental benefits. Typing of BVD-positive samples allows analysis of virus spread and detection of reportable BVD type 2.

A free online tool was developed to assist farmers, vets and livestock health advisors in the interpretation of the clinical implication of faecal egg count (FEC) results from sheep.

The aim of this SEFARI Spark/Think Tank project, designed to scope current topical issues, was to identify research priority areas for agri-tech use in beef and sheep livestock production systems, where uptake is currently limited.
