This four-day, in-person CPD seminar is ideal for the experienced farm vet wishing to develop their advisory skills in dairy herd health and take their work to the next level. June 13-16 2022. SY13 4AL.
One of my newest courses and it’s a gem! For the sakes of animal welfare, safety and efficiency, learn the science and practices of stress-free cattle handling and herd behaviour. Importantly, the day also covers how to train others in this increasingly sought-after area.
This short course is aimed at delegates who wish to develop their knowledge of ruminant nutrition. The course is specifically designed for those who have recently become involved in giving on-farm advice including animal nutrition advisors, veterinary surgeons and teachers.
The objectives of the course are to establish a thorough working knowledge of nutrition and diet formulation. By the end of the course delegates will be able to solve practical problems based on a knowledge of nutritional theory and devise suitable rations for dairy cows.
A one-day course which introduces the principles behind regenerative agriculture and conservation farming and how as vets we can help with specific regards to herd health planning, antibiotic use and anthelmintic choices. We consider the importance of getting your hands in the soil, how to assess soil and what to look for, including worm counts and hunting down some dung beetles. We discuss the importance of grazing, how to make the most from carbon sequestration as well as plate meter use and grazing techniques.
