Dear Member
Animal Health, an executive agency of Defra, has
launched a recorded information line for the farming community to use in
disease outbreaks.
The information line allows farmers, livestock keepers, vets and other
stakeholders to stay up-to-date with important news and information,
initially about Foot and Mouth Disease and Bluetongue, from the end of a
phone.
This new communication channel allows those without regular access to the
internet to listen to the latest news by simply dialling 0844 884 4600
instead. The information line will be updated regularly. Calls costs 5p
a minute (4.2p plus VAT).
