Farmers and their vets will be teaming up to share how they have
proactively addressed some of the most common and challenging health issues
found on beef and dairy units in the Farm Health Planning seminars to be
staged at Livestock Event at The NEC, Birmingham on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3
July.
Organised by the Cattle Health and Welfare Group and chaired by British
Cattle Veterinary Association, each seminar will be led by a farmer with his
respective vet explaining how they have collaborated in solving various
challenges. Topics such as ketosis in transition cows, cow flow and housing design,
mastitis and youngstock management amongst others will be shared in a very
practical way via short seminars staged in the Animal Health Zone where there
will be ample opportunity for further discussion with the speakers after each
presentation.
FHP co-ordinator,
Brian Lindsay commented: “The FHP seminars have grown in popularity year on
year indicating their real value to those that attend the event. The format
using farmers and their vets delivering their ‘real life’ story in short punchy
seminars is a model that we have seen appreciated by farmers and their advisors
in tackling these challenges in an effective manner - an approach that may just
work for them when they return to their farms.”
