Join us to discuss this Innovative Farmers Field Lab exploring the animal health considerations of non chemical bracken management.

This webinar is part of the Bracken Learning Network and will focus on animal health considerations associated with non chemical bracken management. The network brings together farmers, researchers and advisers to improve understanding of bracken management and its impacts on livestock, soils and wider farm systems.

Our guest speaker is Alan Murphy BVMS DBR MSc (Applied Toxicology) MRCVS, Veterinary Lead for Toxicology and Chemical Feed and Food Safety within the Surveillance Intelligence Unit at the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). Alan will provide an overview of the animal health risks associated with bracken exposure.

The session will conclude with a short update on current research topics and survey findings from the Bracken Learning Network.
