Intervet Supports National Rabbit Week

Intervet is supporting National Rabbit Week (22^nd - 28^th January) through its new wormer to help control Encephalitozoon cuniculi (E. cuniculi) and intestinal worms in rabbits, Panacur^® Rabbit.

The company has joined forces with Burgess Excel, Rabbit Welfare Association, Rabbit Welfare Fund and British Rabbit Council to sponsor the event which culminates in the Bradford Excel Small Livestock Show on 27^th and 28^th January.  Panacur^® Rabbit will also be co-sponsoring the show in conjunction with Burgess Excel in a bid to raise awareness of the event and boost attendance.

Celebrity rabbit lover, Ingrid Tarrant, who wrote the best-selling book 'The Rabbit Whisperer', is supporting the campaign and will be at the Bradford Excel Show to offer rabbit owners advice on pet care including choosing a rabbit, preparing for its arrival and routine care such as grooming, feeding and worming.

"We're delighted to be supporting both National Rabbit Week and the Bradford Excel Show in a bid to raise awareness of both the benefits of owning a rabbit and their preventative healthcare requirements," comments Shoumik Das, product manager for Panacur^® Rabbit.
