    Ep 44: AI in Practice - Reducing the load with Artificial Intelligence


    In this episode, Charles and Natasha are diving into AI in practice and how vets can utilise artificial intelligence both in the clinic and on the road.


    They also discuss the lifting of the Bird Flu housing order, the latest bluetongue vaccination figures, and Charles catches up with John Gilmore ahead of the upcoming DairyCon on what to expect at the event.


    First up is equine specialist Kevin Corley, who joins the podcast to discuss the growing role of AI in veterinary medicine, drawing on his experience in equine practice, critical care, and veterinary technology innovation.


    Also joining the podcast is James Daly, founder of VetDrive, who discusses the evolution of veterinary software, the growing use of AI tools within the veterinary profession, and the future of technology in veterinary practice.

  • Ep 38: Creeping Through the Herd – Bovine Mycoplasma
    17 Feb 2026

    Ep 38: Creeping Through the Herd – Bovine Mycoplasma


    In this episode, Natasha and Charles explore the topic of Mycoplasma in cattle. Charles also brings Natasha up to speed on BTV-3 and the availability of licensed vaccines to mitigate the spread.


    Colin Mason, based in Scotland, joins Charles to discuss the impact of Mycoplasma in cattle from a Scottish perspective. Colin reveals how the ability to detect Mycoplasma has improved over the last 20 years, along with changes to both disease presentations and the levels of disease seen in herds.


    Catherine McAloon also joins Charles to discuss her investigative research into Mycoplasma in Irish herds. We find out if herds previously affected by Mycoplasma still carry active infections and how the bacteria can colonise herds without causing disease.


    This episode is sponsored by Protivity from Zoetis. Tune in to Kieran O’Mahony, Area Veterinary Manager at Zoetis, to gain insights into the exciting development of the vaccine.

    Ep 13: Bracing for Bluetongue – are we ready? (Re-release)


    In this episode, we revisit our previous episode on Bluetongue virus serotype 3 as it arrives on our island. We hear from veterinary epidemiologist, Inge Santiman-Berends, about how Bluetongue has affected the Netherlands. We discuss how the virus has been transmitted through midges, possible vaccines, as well as signs and symptoms. We speak with Audrey Jenkinson, Superintending Veterinary Inspector at the Department, about Ireland's plans to manage this highly impactful virus and the key factors we need to take into account.


    This episode is sponsored by Norbrook.
