Reducing antibiotics in farming; the agricultural machinery industry; Nominations open for Food and Farming Awards

As experts in the field of animal health work to reduce the use of antibiotics in livestock, we hear from a dairy farmer who swears by giving his cows cider apple vinegar daily. It's believed by some to be a natural antiseptic and immune system booster - able to improve a cow's ability to fend off various ailments including mastitis and foot infections.
It's a big issue, with a series of roadshows aimed at pig producers being held this month and it'll also be discussed at a dairy conference in Glasgow. The government wants the use of antibiotics in agriculture cut by a fifth.

And nominations for this year's Food and Farming Awards are open - we hear from a judge what they're looking for, and why innovation is so important in food production.
