Guests this time: Al Nisbet - head of Moredun's vaccines and diagnostics department Tom McNeilly, Moredun's head of disease control Mara Rocchi - head of Moredun's virus surveillance unit Jessica Allport - merino sheep farmer in New South Wales, Australia Mentioned in this episode: Podcast producers Bespoken Media All episodes of OnFARM are produced and edited by Scottish podcast production specialists Bespoken Media.
