Description

Disbudding of goat kids is a vet-only procedure here in the UK, and yet many vets do not feel they have the experience to offer this service. We’ll look at why owners may choose to have their kids disbudded, how best to prepare for the procedure, discuss the anaesthesia requirements and go through the actual process blow by blow. With plenty of opportunity to ask questions this session aims to dispel the myths and motivate the clinician to deliver disbudding confidently. The talk is aimed at all levels of goat experience, and from all walks of clinical practice – you are just a likely to encounter a pet pygmy goat in small animal practice as you are in farm animal work so it pays to be prepared.
