Raise em' right or pay twice – Vet-focused session and livestream

Find out how using antibiotics correctly can have a positive impact on your herd.

AHDB and UK-DCN are delighted to be working with Ben Strugnell BVM&S Cert PM MRCVS (of Farm Post Mortems Ltd.) and Kat Hart (George Veterinary Group) at Harrison and Hetherington, Borderway Mart.

This event is geared specifically towards vets, SQPs and other professionals within this industry (vet nurses/vet techs), as Ben completes a practical post-mortem on a calf to look at the issues that contribute to or can be a cause of death.

Ben will also be discussing how using medications in the right way with the correct animals can keep stock healthy.

Our presenters will also be sharing their practical knowledge and showcasing how to keep stock healthy by understanding the importance of correct ventilation, temperature and disease control when managing youngstock – and how these factors can ultimately lead to efficiencies on farm.

This event will also be livestreamed. If you wish to join online instead of in-person, please still register but select that you will be attending the livestream so we can send out a joining link a few days before the meeting.

By the end of this meeting, you will know:

• Calf management theory, such as colostrum management and vaccination protocols with on-farm case studies
• How good calf management practices can help reduce antibiotic use and create efficiencies in other areas that can lower your carbon footprint
• The primary causes of illness/mortality
