UK - Vet practices which were forced to sell bluetongue vaccines at a loss following Defra’s decision to cut the price of vaccine have lost thousands of pounds as a result.A number of vets who bought vaccine stocks at full price were left furious when Defra cut prices without warning, forcing them to follow suit and take a loss on their products
James Allcock of Cheshire-based vets Lambert, Leonard and May – part of the XL veterinary group - said the move left a ‘sour taste’ in the mouth and had threatened to undermine the industry’s efforts to work closely with Defra.
