E.Coli - Lawyers and Notifiable Disease status
Sun, 20 Sep 2009 07:44:22 +0100
Pat's Note: Interesting developments.
As expected class action lawyers are now on the scene - and have the
archives of the newsgroup uk.business.agriculture to assist them. They
will be wondering who is financing and organising the campaign of
intimidation, stalking and harassment. It may be a source of
additi ...

E. Coli - it gets worse
Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:50:08 +0100
Pat's Note: The government vets have now lost control of the story.
Pennington is warning parents that "40% of cattle herds carry the
potentially dangerous strain of bacterium"?
Britain's government vets are, as usual, screwing up British livestock
farming.
They covered their incompetent backs for a decade ...

E.Coli - Defra - Doing animal rights' job for them.
Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:19:13 +0100
Pat's Note: Well, Pennington and the BBC are destroying any chance of
farming's push for the population to be reconnected to livestock
farming.
The veggies and animal rights are getting the job done for them.
Is Pennington right?
Who knows?
If Britain's government vets were as efficient as they are co ...

E.Coli tests wait until Monday.
Sat, 19 Sep 2009 14:50:46 +0100
Pat's Note: Nothing changes, nothing is allowed to disturb the weekend
for Britain's bent government vets. Everything waits for Monday.
They did this during Foot and Mouth, but this time it is kids that are
sick. People notice these things when it is kids that are sick.
The vets will be a getting a permanent ...

E.Coli - waiting the results
Sat, 19 Sep 2009 13:17:37 +0100
Pat's Note:
Once again we the have the implied exclusion of pigs as a risk, even
in a call for new e.coli guidelines
"Pennington said that, while not all petting farms should be closed,
he was ?not terribly happy? with the idea of under-fives touching
ruminants such as lambs, calves and young goats."

Swine Flu - Northern Ireland - details.
Sat, 19 Sep 2009 10:15:23 +0100
Pat's Note: This seems the most comprehensive report so far. If my
geography is right, this is near Enniskillen.
It's a big farm and there have been dead pigs. They seem to have kept
it quiet for a couple of weeks.
Swine Flu in pigs is not notifiable in Britain and Ireland, so no
offence has been committed, a ...

E.Coli - the source according to Pennington
Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:04:23 +0100
Pat's Note: As you can see Prof. Pennington is unequivocal about the
source according to the Press Association.
"the farm"
He probably has inside information. I'd be surprised if he did not. It
would be negligent even for Britain's bent government vets not to give
him the evidence and ask his opinion

Potential Standardization of the Use of Maize By-Products for Cattle
Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:06:26 -0700 (PDT)
Hiya:
Not so common in the UK, but this, I think, might be beneficial to a
few who can buy DDGS.
It's become a favorite here. The beauty of it all is that it keeps
fresh-prepared feed moist, keeps dust down in grain and hay rations,
and blends like adding grease to an animals digestive tract.
Purdue re ...
