In this episode John Bates talks to Mandy Nevel, vet and Head of Animal Health & Welfare at AHDB, Amy Jackson, Communications Specialist at Responsible Use of Medicines in Agriculture (RUMA), and Georgina Crayford, Technical Manager for Pigs at Red Tractor, about animal health and welfare in the UK.
