There are so many opportunities for vets to make tangible differences on sheep farms but sometimes it can be difficult to pin down what is achievable or helpful for the actual farmer stood in front of you. There is a huge range of what could be possible or relevant for different flocks but this presentation will give vets specific tools and ideas to take back to their flocks and apply practically, with specific relevant to common disease issues (such as flock lameness or those affecting lambing time).
- Improved ability to harness the benefits of understanding flock data for both farmer and vet practice.
- Clear understanding of how to obtain and use sheep flock KPIs, relevant & specific to all types of shepherds/flocks
- Required skills to maximise the benefit of recording simple antibiotic usage data on Medicine Hub - with profit for both farmer and practice
- Access to tools, ideas and routes to better farmer engagement.
