The Farm Animal Veterinary Surveillance Network (FAVSNET) is a pilot initiative for Welsh farm animals. Led by the University of Liverpool, it's been made possible by support from Arwain DGC and funding from the Welsh Government.
FAVSNET is a pilot project, collecting and analysing de-identified data from participating Welsh veterinary practices and diagnostic laboratories. Using this data, we've established a robust platform for syndromic surveillance and large-scale, real-time research of farm animal health and welfare in Wales. This enables us to provide farm animal health and disease insights to Welsh veterinary practitioners, diagnostic laboratories and farmers. We’re aiming to become a comprehensive national system for monitoring farm animal health across the UK.
Learn how data collected from Welsh diagnostic laboratories enables us to deliver farm animal health insights and disease surveillance.
Discover why electronic health records, shared by Welsh veterinary practitioners, are crucial to our work researching farm animal health issues.
Explore some of the current priorities for our research and syndromic surveillance of the farm animal population in Wales.
