Dairy Insight is delighted to host this course, with world-leading specialists in the field of calf respiratory health from the University of Ghent delivering a two day, hands-on course, including the opportunity to become a certified qTUS veterinarian. This is an exceptional opportunity to gain the most up to date knowledge in TUS and the practical skills to match. This course is suitable for those new to lung scanning and for those already delivering this service on farm to calibrate and advance their skills. Included are online modules about pneumonia and qTUS technique designed with the latest research, two days on farm small group practicals to develop your qTUS technique, and the opportunity for assessment and certification.
Tailored for early-career farm animal or mixed practitioners, as well as vets returning to practice or looking to build knowledge in farm animal work where caseload exposure may be limited. The course will take place in and around the Blackdown Farm Vets practice area across East Devon, Somerset, and West Dorset.
