Thursday 12th November - Practical calf health: post-mortem insights
6:15pm – 8:30pm at Market Drayton Livestock Market
Join us for this practical post-mortem event at Market Drayton Market to understand the impact of infection and disease in calves, and what steps can be taken to protect against this.
AHDB and UK-DCN are delighted to be working with Nantwich Farm Vets to follow-on from their ‘Rumen Development Demonstration’ at UK Dairy Day.
We will also be joined by Ben Strugnell, BVM&S Cert PM MRCVS, (of Farm Post Mortems Ltd), who will be completing a practical post-mortem on a calf to identify signs of infection and disease that can be a cause of death, and the anatomy of the gastrointestinal system.
