Livestock producers 'anxious and stressed' over vet services

An organisation representing the Island's livestock producers says it's talking to the government about vet services for its members.

The Isle of Man Fatstock Marketing Association says it's concerned by Milan Veterinary Practice's decision to stop providing its large animal practice to the farming industry.

In a statement, it says the move has caused anxiety and stress to many of the Island's farmers.

And it adds it's now in talks with the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture to resolve the situation.
