VTMED 6548
Dairy Production Medicine

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

Intermediate course in the techniques and procedures used by veterinarians in modern dairy practice.  Many of these activities fall outside the traditional boundaries of medicine, surgery, and theriogenology and might include housing, facilities, manure management, and employee education.  Data analysis, disease and productivity monitoring, and evaluation of deviations from targeted performance are used to plan cost-effective interventions or corrections, followed by continued surveillance to monitor their effect.  Students are introduced to the dominant software currently used in dairy management.  Local dairy herds serve as additional laboratories for class projects.

When Offered Fall.

Permission Note Enrollment limited to: third- and fourth-year veterinary students.
