The fight to control Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) across the UK's agriculture sector has never been so strong, with dedicated eradication programmes in operation across all four nations. Dr Neil Paton from Wales’ Gwaredu BVD eradication programme explains why it is so important for farm vets to lead the conversation, and the benefits of stamping out the disease once and for all.

One of the reasons I wanted to get involved in BVA was to have the chance to make a positive difference, whether that was to the veterinary profession, the animals under our care or the clients that we serve. Becoming the President of BVA Welsh Branch has allowed me to do that in a much wider arena by influencing various organisations with BVA policy positions, which I am proud to say have been reached by robust debate amongst members.
