GB Calf Week Webinar: Practical calf housing and management

Join us for a webinar to hear from Dr Robert Hyde about the latest calf health research from the University of Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science.

This talk aims to translate research findings into practical outcomes for vets and farmers, from the analysis of national calf mortality datasets, to the demonstration of practical online tools to get the best out of your calves.

This is a joint webinar hosted by AHDB and the University of Nottingham. 

This webinar is part of a series of events for GB Calf Week. Find the full list of events here.

About the speaker

Robert graduated as a veterinarian from the University of Nottingham and after a period in clinical farm animal practice returned to complete a residency in bovine health management and become an RCVS recognised specialist in cattle health and production.

He subsequently completed a PhD using machine learning techniques to improve health and production in calves and joined the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science as an assistant professor in computational biology.

Robert's primary interests are the translation of research findings into practical tools for veterinarians and farmers, and his current research involves the use of both machine learning and machine vision techniques to automatically identify key health and welfare outcomes in cattle.
