UK..Incurable virus killing thousands of sheep.

Link changed.

In a ewe that was carrying twins, she would have a job lambing it. You would have to pull it out," said farmer Clive Sleightholme.

"The legs were fused together and tucked underneath, its head was angular, not formed properly.

"They had undershot jaws and they weren't fleshed out properly but nearly every one was alive when it was pulled out but only lived seconds up to a minute."

Re: UK..Incurable virus killing thousands of sheep.
new virus is causing lambs to be born with deformities so severe that they die within seconds. Cows too ?


Sorry I will post link again.

snip...

Vet Toby Kemble has already seen deformed lambs at eight out of 10 sheep farms he has been to in north Norfolk this year.

"It's concerning for the farmer, from their point of view they are losing lambs and losing productivity but it's very upsetting seeing the lambs," he said.

So far the majority of confirmed cases have been in Suffolk and Norfolk. But farms in Kent, East Sussex, Essex and Hertfordshire have also been affected.

And in West Sussex the virus has been found not just in sheep but also cattle. Most lambs and calves are born in the spring so for many farmers it is a waiting game.

"It's a new virus so we just don't know what's going to happen," said Mr Kemble.

Re: UK..Incurable virus killing thousands of sheep.
I posted a thread about this a couple of weeks ago, but I don't know how to find my old posts. It was being kept quiet, but livestock from Europe was being banned. I said at the time I'm surprised this hasn't hit the mainstream news, but it was on Sky today. About 25% of sheep had given birth to deformed lambs in the UK.

Thats the Schmallenberg virus. Was detected in Germany months ago. Was here in Holland also, but I believe it is gone now.

Re: UK..Incurable virus killing thousands of sheep.
This is a fairly new virus:

[link to news.sciencemag.org]

"A risk assessment by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in Stockholm, issued just before Christmas, concluded that "it is unlikely that this new orthobunyavirus can cause disease in humans, but it cannot be excluded at this stage."

A possible probléme of vaccination!?

A meditative comment here:

[link to blog.santelog.com]

"" Sirs, Ladies, during the last compulsory vaccination, against both sérotypes 8 and 1 of the FCO, at the risk of legal proceedings, we made notice, by services of the DDTM, the hurts provoked in the points of injection, and during births, a large number of lambs presented deformations very similar to those whom you attribute to the Virus Schmallenberg. Few lambs survived, and in which state! We deducted from it, that the vaccine which was imposed on us, contaminated our ewes, because we have probably, already, received the result of a transfer(transformation), as that described in the Netherlands.
During the summer, 2010, we did not renew any more this vaccination, to see these events reproducing, and, effectively, our ewes gave birth to normal lambs.
We thank you, Sirs and Ladies, sincerely, to have ended this obligation to inoculate, which(who) caused us a considerable damage. "

This virus already started spreading around my country some months ago. Animals being born very weak, death, or with 2 heads, all kinds of crazy stuff.

Kinda strange there is so little presscoverage on this.

check ut contamination of the shetland islands after chernobyl...the sheep were so radioactive... but there were fears at the time it was more widespread....snaps to me of radiation.....it would also be interesting if this has been found in ohter species....as each would have an optimom.....

anyway i dont think becoming a veggie would do much good either (eg alcumulation of radiation) as if it is in the sheep its likley to be in all crops.....
