Herdsperson Training: Fresh Cow Assessment
Physical examination and a basic knowledge of cattle anatomy, physiology, and behavior is key for dairy personnel to be able to understand "normal" and identify what may be a health concern.
This workshop will teach fresh cow assessment and monitoring practices to recognize and minimize fresh cow metabolic disease rates and improve fresh cow health.
This one-day in-person workshop is offered at different locations. It includes a scenario-based presentation, and hands-on demonstration and practice. Participants will leave with their own fresh cow monitoring kit and certificate of completion.
Performance Objectives:
- Practice and understand basic cattle handling and behavior
- Effectively monitor fresh cows, visually and with data
- Perform a physical examination on cows
- Assemble a fresh cow assessment toolkit
* Limited to 10 participants *
Cost: $75 per person
