OAHN Update - September 2022

Animal Health Laboratory, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON.

This summer, the Ontario Animal Health Network has published many helpful and information-filled resources, as well as focusing on the 2022 Varroa Mite Campaign, equine veterinary webinars, and tick/Lyme awareness. In addition, we have held our quarterly species-specific network meetings and created the resultant veterinary and owner/producer reports which reflect what is being seen in veterinary practice, labs, and abattoirs throughout Ontario. To view the reports, go to OAHN.ca and navigate to the species you are interested in.
