The price of lamb could increase if significantly more livestock is affected with Schmallenberg disease. There has been a sharp increase in the number of farms with this new virus which causes birth defects in lambs and calves. Peter Hardwick from Eblex tells Anna Hill how lamb prices can be affected by deficits in the global sheep flock.

And an animal welfare group is accused of prohibiting improvements in animal welfare. The National Pig Association believes farmers could be put off trying to erect new buildings for their animals, after a pig farmer received a letter from the charity Compassion In World Farming, asking for details about the plans. But CIWF explains how it is trying to protect the welfare of farm animals.
