    Royal Army Veterinary Corps Officer Gives a Healthcheck to Afghan Livestock


    A Royal Army Veterinary Corps officer is pictured listening to the heart of a goat owned by a local Afghan farmer in a free veterinary clinic organised during a livestock bazaar in Helmand, Afghanistan.
    The veterinary outreach programme at Shawqat, is one of a growing number conducted by the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, designed to help farmers and livestock owners in the remote corners of Helmand and the rest of Afghanistan.
    Run and organised by the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) at Lashkar Gah, it is an opportunity for villagers to bring their sick animals to see a vet who can diagnose illnesses and provide treatment.
