  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          The newest in bull probe technology, the two-electrode probe delivers a smoother signal to the bull and is a more durable construction than the older three-electrode probe. All two-electrode probes are weighted, gentle and efficient, while the shielding of the electrodes reduces back arching, hind limb extension &amp;amp; vocalisation. The nose now has additional weight, helping the probe to sit securely in the ‘sweet spot’ area. It’s also easier to clean, enhancing biosecurity and has improved water resistance.

  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Why does this matter to farm vets and where does Numnuts® come in?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          By purchasing through MerlinVet UK via the link below, you can buy a Numnuts® device at the veterinary purchase price of £300 and sell to farmers at the Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of £410 + VAT. Farmers should purchase at the RRP to be eligible with their application and include this purchase price in their application to be successful.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Let your farm clients in Scotland know about the grant so they can receive equipment to aid their business. If you’re looking for products to suggest to farmers, then look no further than Numnuts® – the FFIS grant will pay farmers up to 100% of castration and tail docking devices, as outlined in the A-Z list of eligible items below. Farmers are able to choose items that are relevant to their business – we’d suggest a Numnuts® device and ring dispenser.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Let farmers know that they should only purchase their Numnuts device and other farming equipment after their grant application has been approved. They will have nine months to make any purchases upon receiving grant approval.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;

           Why should you recommend Numnuts®?

           castration and tail docking devices that minimise pain

    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          In 2025, the Scottish Government confirmed that farmers in Scotland can legally use Numnuts® for castrating or tail docking lambs up to 12 weeks old, provided an anaesthetic is administered. This clarification brings significant relief to Scottish farmers and veterinarians seeking reassurance on the legality of using Numnuts®, which minimises the pain and distress associated with traditional rubber ringing procedures. Numnuts® adheres to animal welfare standards and provides a compassionate alternative to older methods. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          You are able to purchase Numnuts

Pour your rings into the top of the dispenser and let it do the work of arranging the rings, ready to quickly and easily pick up, letting you carry on with marking with less fuss.

  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          More than 300 companies entered the British Business Awards. The shortlisted businesses were chosen by an independent shortlisting panel. Each entry was carefully examined and judged on their positive impact to their workforce, sector and overall contribution to the British economy. The shortlist will now go forward to the main judging panel comprising of 18 independent judges, all key figures from British industry including Vinodka Murria OBE, Phil Urban, CEO of Mitchells &amp;amp; Butlers and Emma Crystal, CEO Coutts Bank.

          The awards are raising funds for beneficiary homelessness charity Social Bite, with a target of raising £1million through the event and a fundraising lunch happening earlier in the day, being organised with Gleneagles Hotel. The awards dinner will take place at the EICC on 24 April and tables are already in high demand with up to 2000 business leaders set to attend.

  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Alan Jope CBE, former CEO of Unilever and Chair of the judging panel said: “In spite of the economic headwinds facing British businesses, our incredible shortlist shows that leading British companies are thriving and in turn are powering the economy and job creation through their hard work and resilience. It came across loud and clear from the hundreds of entries we received for the awards that businesses are having to innovate and adapt like never before. It’s been inspirational to see the incredible work that’s going on behind the scenes in companies of all shapes and sizes across the UK.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          “The 2025 shortlist reflects the hugely diverse range of businesses we have in this country, and I know our judging panel are going to have some tough decisions on their hands when it comes to determining our winners.”

      <title>MerlinVet &amp; Numnuts at The Highlands &amp; Islands Veterinary Services Scheme Conference</title>
      <link>https://www.merlinvetgroup.com/merlinvet-numnuts-at-the-highlands-islands-veterinary-services-scheme-conference</link>
      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         MerlinVet’s Managing Director, David Taylor, and MerlinVet-cel’s Group Business Development Manager, Jane Hutcheon, recently attended the annual Highlands &amp;amp; Islands Veterinary Services Scheme Conference in Inverness.
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;a href="https://merlinvetuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Numnuts-A5-Flyer-2025.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/e3797822/dms3rep/multi/Numnuts+Insta+Post-8b62f450.png"/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  
         The scheme’s aim is to ‘ensure the provision of an adequate veterinary service to prevent &amp;amp; eradicate animal diseases for all animals kept for agricultural purposes and belonging to crofters and others of like economic status.’
         &#xD;
  &lt;a href="https://www.gov.scot/publications/highlands-and-islands-veterinary-services-scheme-hivss/" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
    
          The Highlands &amp;amp; Islands Veterinary Services
         &#xD;
  &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
  
         Scheme supports large animal veterinary practices in remote areas of the Scottish Highlands and Islands to provide practical veterinary cover to crofters and their animals, which is vital in the role of preventing &amp;amp; identifying animal disease.
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Clarification on the Law in Scotland
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Andrew Voas,  Scottish Government Veterinary Head of Animal Welfare spoke on the updated legislation of lamb tail docking and castration. As distributors of
          &#xD;
    &lt;a href="https://merlinvetuk.co.uk/product/numnuts-device-starter-kit-pre-order/" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
      
           Numnuts
          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
          , the MerlinVet team were able to demonstrate to vets the advantages and ease of use of the device, thus being able to support their farmers when the time comes later in Spring. Andrew Voas reaffirmed that it is legal in Scotland to use rings for lamb marking up to 12 weeks of age provided that a local anaesthetic is used. Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) officers in attendance stated that now that there is a legal and approved means of applying local anaesthetic at the time of ringing, then farms who are ringing at over 7 days and not using local anaesthetic will be penalised.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
           This clarification brings significant relief to Scottish farmers and veterinarians seeking reassurance on the legality of using Numnuts. This innovative method minimises the pain and distress typically associated with traditional rubber ringing procedures. Scottish legislation allows this practice up to 3 months, ensuring adherence to animal welfare standards and providing a compassionate alternative to older methods.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Current legislation is more restrictive in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, with rubber rings for castration or tail docking being prohibited on lambs older than 7 days. We are hopeful that the situation will change - please consider petitioning your local MP or NFU Representative to align the legislation across the UK. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Numnuts® is a 2-in-1 device that administers an Elastrator® ring along with a pre-calibrated dose of local anaesthetic. This device makes giving fast-acting targeted pain relief for castration and tail docking of lambs easy, fast, and safe. The Numnuts® Device allows farmers and vets to provide best practice without compromising on safety and efficiency. No other device exists that allows farmers and vets to provide targeted pain relief to lambs during tail docking and castration.

      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         As we move towards Spring, we thought we’d share with you the seasonal products that can help your veterinary practice during 2025’s lambing and calving season.
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
    
          Ewe-Go Energy &amp;amp; Calcium Drench for Healthy Ewes
         &#xD;
  &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
        
            Twin lamb disease (low blood pressure) and low blood calcium are common problems in ewes before lambing and distinguishing between the two can be difficult, with ewes suffering from one problem being likely to be affected by the other to some extent.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
        
            Ewe-Go is a complementary feed containing energy and calcium for combatting twin lamb disease and low blood calcium.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
        
            Ewe-Go contains both energy sources (glycerol and propylene glycol) and calcium. The energy sources are converted to glucose by the ewe meaning all the energy is available to the ewe. It also contains calcium chloride as a source of calcium in the gut.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
        
            Comes in flexi-packs so any drenching gun can be fitted for easy administration.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

           Ultra Dri Disinfectant Powder
          &#xD;

      &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
        
            Acts as a powerful ‘drying’ agent on the bedding in straw yards and on cubicles
           &#xD;

            Reduces ammonia
           &#xD;
      &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
        
            Non-irritant; contrary to lime, Ultra-Dri Gold doesn’t burn
           &#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  
         RelyneGI, one of the most researched equine gastric supplements, has been reformulated with a higher quality beta glucan. The research suggests it’s better than ever and the best news is we can now offer it at an even better price!
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Why use RelyneGI?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Relyne is a polysaccharide blend containing TGB-136™ Schizophllan Beta Glucan and hyaluronic acid aimed at providing a natural alternative to support gastric health in equine athletes. Polysaccharides have established themselves as protectants by their ability to confer defense to gastrointestinal mucosal tissues. Levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) increase in polysaccharide-treated gastric tissues indicating that polysaccharides can help relieve gastric discomfort. Relyne’s new formulation contains the highly researched beta glucan TGB-136™. A double-blind study performed by Louisiana State University showed that RelyneGI significantly improved stomach health.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Gastric Support
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Relyne aids in promoting gastric well-being in horses that may not respond to traditional therapies, as well as maintaining gastric health in equine athletes during training, travel and performance. Relyne is safe for continuous daily use while promoting healthy stomach pH and digestion. It does not alter gastric pH like PPIs and H2 blockers and therefore does not affect digestion and nutrient absorption. Ideal for long-term use in horses with risk factors for gastric discomfort. Maintaining peak performance in the equine athlete has never been easier.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Relyne can be used in conjunction with other gastroprotectants, medications and supplements, making it an ideal choice for challenging cases. The new formula has resulted in a slight colour change for those familiar with the product, but this had no effect on palatability during research. Relyne has been thoroughly tested for banned substances and is Clean Sport Approved for horses in competition.

  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          During development, Numnuts worked with farmers to define key elements such as ergonomics, function, weight, etc. They also gave us the challenge of making it last at least 100,000 cycles. So, to meet that challenge, we built a rig to test and improve the durability.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;i&gt;&#xD;
      
           “We marked our lambs this year with Numnuts and the improvement in our lambs’ recoveries was huge! Our lambs were on their feet, walking off and feeding from the ewes almost instantly. We will be using Numnuts next season!”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/i&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          –
          &#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           NEFAs
          &#xD;

            PVDF is a totally inert, flexible, strong-walled non absorbable monofilament suture material. It has relatively low memory and a pleasing elasticity (stretch) for a monofilament that is easy to tie and will secure a locked knot in just three throws.

          Dr Trevor W. Hamilton, Director of Clyde Vet Group, explains the benefits of switching to Silverglide:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;i&gt;&#xD;
        
            "As part of a multi vet farm animal team based in Central Scotland, we have always performed quite a lot of farm animal surgery (especially cattle and sheep caesarians). We started to use polyglactin sutures rather than catgut over 15 years ago due to better clinical outcomes regarding post-operative fertility. We initially used this from a reel but when we were given the opportunity to try the Silverglide version with a swaged needle, I decided to give it a try despite being initially sceptical (as most older farm vets are). However, when I and the rest of my team tried Silverglide we were all very impressed with the ease of use, tying ability, and sharpness of needles.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/i&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;i&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/i&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;i&gt;&#xD;
        
            The fact that it is swaged on is a godsend when in the middle of an operation at 2am, as you are not trying to thread a needle in the semi-dark! The bonus for us was that we realised that they actually worked out cheaper than our previous solution as we had less waste and no cassettes going out of date or perishing after opening. I also have a son who is a practising farm vet and he has converted the practices where he has worked to Silverglide after he brought it in for his own use and showed his colleagues the benefits. All in all, a positive advance for a practising farm vet."

           It is common for horses in various disciplines to suffer from gastric ulcers, with a prevalence rate of up to ninety percent. These ulcers can negatively impact a horse’s athletic performance. To identify the cause of the poor performance, a thorough examination is required, including endoscopic examination of the stomach. Poor performance may be attributed to the presence of equine squamous gastric disease or equine glandular gastric disease. If ulcers are present, appropriate treatment can improve the horse’s stomach health and athletic performance. Studies have shown that an oral polysaccharide blend of Schizophyllan beta-glucan with hyaluronic acid is both safe and effective in treating gastric ulcers without altering the stomach’s PH levels.
