12th January 2009 - WikiVet presents at the International Veterinary Students Association 2008 Conference [IVSA]

The IVSA conference this year was held at Glasgow and Edinburgh universities over the New Year period. Natalie Brown (RVC) presented WikiVet to the conference with a view to attracting more international student support for the project. Interest was shown in translating the wiki into other languages and in adding more content to widen the relevance beyond just the UK.

28th November 2008 - WikiVet receives funding from the British Society of Toxicological Pathologists [BSTP]

The BSTP has just agreed to provide sponsorship to support the WikiVet project in 2009. This funding will be used to cover wiki server hosting costs at the University of London Computer Centre.

23rd October 2008 - WikiDrugs Ready for Population

All the WikiClinical stub pages are now in place. Please feel free to start populating these pages with lots of clinical knowledge. If you are having trouble editing pages please refer back to our help pages.

9th October 2008 - The Wiki is Launched

Attendees of the WikiVet Launch

The WikiVet project was officially launched at MEDEV, Newcastle University. People from varying aspects of the Veterinary, Educational, Pharmaceutical and Medical professions attended the conference. Five people also attended the virtual conference, which made for an exciting yet interactive session. We feel that the launch was a great success and look forward to watching WikiVet grow.

Article of the Week - WikiNormals

This is a new section which provides normal haematology, biochemistry and physiological parameters for a wide range of species and breeds. For example check on the typical range of calcium levels in a camelid or the normal PCV of a cat.

This section is currently under development by Nottingham vet school students. If you would like to assist in providing additional content, please contact us.

-Chemical contamination of foodstuffs can be due to their presence in the environment, or their intentional or unintentional application somewhere along the food chain. Some chemical toxins may occur naturally. Controlling chemicals which are only unintentionally present in the food chain is obviously difficult.
