Supporting beef farmers in tacking tick-borne diseases
Castle Vets and the University of Liverpool invite beef farmers in the southwest to take part in the ‘Optick’ project, a fully funded study that aims to understand the spread of ticks and tick-borne diseases on farms across the southwest.

What’s Involved?

Why Participate?
As a participant, you’ll receive a personalised report with details of tick distribution and diseases detected on your farm. This report will be a valuable tool for veterinary discussions and health planning, helping you build a proactive approach to protect your cattle.
