Webinar recording

Pneumonia is well documented as one of the biggest challenges in calf rearing in both beef and dairy systems, and with winter nearly upon us, focusing on positive management now will save you stress and cost, not just for now but throughout the lifetime of your calves.

Join Dr Jenny Gibbons (AHDB) in a discussion with vet experts Kat Hart (George Vet Group), Dr Ginny Sherwin (University of Nottingham) and dairy farmer Mike King, who has successfully taken steps to reduce the impact of pneumonia on his farm.

This webinar will cover

  • What pneumonia is and it’s causes
  • Clinical and subclinical impacts and the financial implications
  • Identifying the source of your challenge
  • Measuring the success of planning, preventing and protecting
  • The importance of early diagnosis and rearers feeling confident in how to treat cases
  • How to reduce the stress of outbreaks on calf-rearers
  • Those registering early will be able to request a free delegate pack in the post containing a calf thermometer, an environment thermometer and other valuable AHDB resources; plus, we will send you your cuppa and biscuit to enjoy while listening live.

We look forward to you sending in your questions and pneumonia management-related experiences for discussion during the webinar.
