Description
During this webinar we will take a jaunty skip through the most important infectious diseases affecting cattle in the UK. We will then focus on BVD and Johne’s disease and discuss the new national control programs. Finally, we will take a brief look at what is new and upcoming: the risks of various exotic diseases and new manifestations of old. A 20-minute Q and A at the end will allow delegates to explore particular items of interest and have their queries answered. This webinar will be particularly suitable for vets wishing to get a general overview on the subject: a refresher for some cattle vets or a useful summary for the mixed practitioner.
