upcoming events.

If footrot is costing you time, money and patience, then this is the Hub LIVE event you need to attend. We’re bringing together top vets, geneticists and scientists to dispel the myths and deliver real strategies for managing footrot.

This is a chance to hear directly from the experts who have spent their careers researching and implementing solutions that work across Australia and New Zealand. Whether you’re currently fighting footrot, or if you're looking to future-proof your flock, our footrot forum will give you the tools to take action.

What’s on offer:

• Genetics: Mark Ferguson  and Herman Raadsma on breeding for resistance. What’s possible and how to make it happen.
• Best-practice treatment: MSD Veterinary Technical Advisors from Australia and New Zealand on what treatment actually works in each country.
• Firsthand experience: Charles Douglas-Clifford who has been breeding footrot-resistant sheep at Stonyhurst, home of the SX nucleus flock since its inception in March 2013.
• Foot health CPT in Australia: How you can get involved in this industry-led initiative to tackle footrot through collaborative research and on-farm solutions.

If footrot is a challenge for you and you’re looking for practical, science-backed advice, join us LIVE to hear from the experts and get your questions answered. If you can't make it but have questions you'd like the panel to address, send them to sophie@nextgenagri.com.
