Bluetongue: A Veterinary Discussion with Q&A
Webinar Price - £25
Bluetongue is a real concern for livestock farmers across Europe and the UK.
Guidance tells us how to recognise it and report it but what can actually be done on the farm to lower risk and support animals if the disease appears?
This live webinar brings together veterinary surgeons experienced in alternative and conventional approaches to talk openly about bluetongue – how it operates, how it spreads, and what farmers can realistically do to minimise susceptibility and boost resilience in their livestock.
This is a discussion rather than a lecture.
What you’ll learn:
Understanding the disease
- The disease lifecycle; why outbreaks occur and how it spreads
- Early signs farmers should be watching for
Boosting resilience and reducing susceptibility
- Practical ways to boost health and resilience in cattle and sheep
- How to minimise susceptibility in vulnerable animals
- Preventative thinking within the whole farm system
Lessons from recent outbreaks
- What a Dutch veterinary surgeon used during recent European outbreaks
- How homeopathic remedies were applied on farms
- What farmers learned when facing bluetongue in real situations
Suitable for:
Livestock farmers managing cattle, sheep, or mixed ruminant systems.
Farmers interested in preventative health approaches.
Farmers exploring ways to reduce reliance on synthetic inputs and reactive treatment.
Anyone wanting to better understand bluetongue and how it affects livestock systems.
Speakers:
Liesbeth Ellinger (Netherlands)
Liesbeth is a veterinary surgeon and former President of the IAVH (International Association for Veterinary Homeopathy) who has worked directly with farmers during recent bluetongue outbreaks in Europe.

Edward de Beukelar (UK – TBC)
Edward is expected to join the panel to contribute additional veterinary perspective on ruminant health and disease management.
Chris Aukland (UK)
