Description

Louping Ill is a serious tick borne disease, deriving from the distressing behaviour of infected sheep - including jumping - or louping. Now, a problem for hill farmers in the West of Ireland. With a vaccine potentially being brought to market, John Gibbons who farms near Tourmakeady, and vet Fiona Murphy explained to Lorna Siggins the impact.
