This course will provide you with the latest evidence on optimal calf rearing strategies using an integrated approach covering aspects of health, behaviours and environmental housing.
It will cover methods for the measurement of calf immunity and how they are associated with outcome measures such as disease and mortality. We will then cover how well UK farms are performing in comparison to current suggested benchmarks.
We will look at the impact the housing environment has on calves, including consideration of how to manage different group sizes from individual and pair housing, through to group housing situations.
We will cover the growing appreciation of how subclinical pneumonia impacts the respiratory health of calves, and how thoracic ultrasound can be used to identify this in practice.
Finally, a fully trained cow signals tutor will cover some of the key youngstock signals that can help you to understand how behaviour can inform you about what your calves are telling you, whether they are getting enough to eat, and if they are growing to meet farm targets.

The MHFA training course is open to all members of the veterinary professions, including veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, students, receptionists and practice managers, as well as those in wider animal health and welfare roles. We would particularly welcome those working in rural areas and in ambulatory practice.

This course is ideal for individuals who would like to become an MHFAider® to gain the knowledge and skills to spot signs of people experiencing poor mental health, be confident to start a conversation and signpost a person to appropriate support.
