Show Notes
For this joint episode with the Beef Edge, we’re discussing one of the biggest regulatory changes affecting beef and sheep farms this year.
From 1st December, new rules on veterinary medicines came into effect as part of Ireland’s national strategy to tackle antimicrobial and anti-parasitic resistance.
These changes mean that a range of commonly used products will now require a veterinary prescription, and all prescriptions will be issued and recorded through the National Veterinary Prescription System, or NVPS.
To help explain what this means day-to-day on your farm, we’re joined by Rebecca Fitzpatrick, Superintending Veterinary Inspector with the Department of Agriculture to outline the policy changes.
