NADIS Parasite Forecast & CPD
As part of AMTRA’s online CPD Programme for livestock SQPs, each month AMTRA will be emailing farm animal SQPs the NADIS Parasite Forecast which will highlight the parasitic challenge facing livestock in their area for that month.
At the end of the Parasite Forecast there is a link to a series of multiple choice questions based on its contents. Those successfully answering the quiz online will be emailed a certificate with their score and awarded an AMTRA CPD point.The Parasite Forecast has been developed by NADIS (National Animal Disease Information Service) and is written by leading veterinary parasitologists and is based on detailed data from the Met Office. This programme is supported by Merial Animal Health.
Also available from NADIS to farm animal SQPs each month is a Bulletin on animal health issues - this month on fascioliasis (liver fluke) in cattle. This also has a link at the end to an online quiz with associated CPD point.
We hope that SQPs find both the Parasite Forecast and the Bulletin interesting and helpful.
If you’re a farm animal SQP and haven’t received this, it may be because we don’t have an email address for you, or the email didn’t reach you - perhaps because it went to a shared computer. Contact the AMTRA office to advise us of a personal email address and you can be sure of getting the forecast and bulletin next month.

We had no email address on record for Mr Metcalfe. That’s now been added and a copy sent to Mr Metcalfe, who will get the next parasite forecast and bulletin automatically. If any other SQPs haven’t received it, please contact the AMTRA office with an up to date email address.
