ANIMAL Health has launched a free news alert service to help the farming community keep in touch with the latest developments on notifiable animal disease.

By registering, subscribers will receive alerts on up to five notifiable animal diseases – foot-and-mouth disease, bluetongue, avian influenza, Newcastle disease and classical swine fever.

Subscribers can choose to receive alerts via a voicemail on a landline telephone or mobile telephone, via text, fax or email.

The new subscription service complements Animal Health’s other channels for keeping the farming community informed about the latest developments on notifiable animal diseases.

To sign up online to the Animal Health Subscription Service visit the Animal Health website at http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalhealth
