EU Veterinary Week


The third EU Veterinary Week (organised in partnership the Federation of the Veterinarians of Europe), is running from 14th to 20th June 2010. This year’s theme is ‘identification and traceability along the food chain’.

The week will be launched at a two-day conference in Brussels with the aim of outlining the close link between identification and traceability for veterinary purposes and the numerous additional benefits along the food chain – from farm management to product quality.

Below is the link to a video that has been produced for Vet Week, as mentioned. The video describes what animal tagging as a European rule signifies and also how farmers can best benefit from it. The footage is part filmed in Scotland with a local farmer sharing his views.
