Farm Services/Large Animals
- Bishopton Pig Medicine Programme 12 September 2011We are a multi-disciplinary veterinary practice based in Ripon, North Yorkshire, with 22
Veterinary surgeons, 11 of whom work in Production Animal Medicine. Three full time vets
work exclusively within the pig industry, both in the UK and abroad, and have extensive
experience of both pig medicine and teaching.
As part of our on-going commitment to the
UK pig industry and the future veterinary
profession, we have set up a specific Pig
EMS Programme to help develop veterinary
students with an interest in this area and
allow them an insight into the way the
profession operates within such a specialist
industry.
- Farm Animal EMS 12 September 2011We are a 22 Vet multi-disciplinary Practice in North Yorkshire. 11 of those veterinary surgeons are farm production animal vets
We think that EMS should be a two way experience.
We want to provide good quality, structured farm animal EMS for vet students who are seriously considering a career in farm animal practice.
We think that it is important that the farm vets of the future are exposed to the right kind of EMS that has some structure and goals that are relevant to the modern dairy, beef and pig industries.
As well as offering the usual traditional EMS for most of the year we have reserved spaces during: March April and May for students wishing to undertake dedicated cattle EMS programmes.

- Planning Health and Preventing Problems on a North Yorks Pig Unit 03 November 2008Yorkshireman Steven Blaken started his herd when he left school nearly 40 years ago
with only five gilts that he took to be served by a neighbour’s boar. His business today is
very different. He runs a 450 sow herd and 4,000 progeny from suckling piglets to
weaners and finished bacon pigs at Monkton Mains Farm near Ripon, north Yorkshire.
Herd health planning is a vital ingredient in the success of his unit.
Working as a team with specialist pig vet, Nigel Woolfenden, of Bishopton Veterinary
Group, Ripon, decisions are taken at the three-monthly routine meetings that will
influence health and continue to improve the unit’s efficiency and profitability through the
sale of finished pigs.
Small/Domestic Animals
- New Specialist Feline Unit 01 December 2008Bishopton Veterinary Group is proud to be able to provide clients with a new facility for the treatment of feline hyperthyroidism using radioactive iodine. Radioactive iodine is in most cases the treatment of choice, and especially suitable for patients intolerant of Felimazole (whether as adverse effects, or difficulty of
medicating), cases where anaesthetic risk is unacceptable, and cases where surgery is inappropriate (eg intra-thoracic thyroid tissue).
