DMCP Courses: 'Day 2' Training Day for New Plan Deliverers 2020
Tuesday 10th November 2020 - prior to the British Mastitis Conference
Online

This day is designed for veterinary surgeons and consultants to bring herd mastitis 'cases' for group discussion and gain specialist advice.

Finally, existing Mastitis Control Plan Deliverers will find this day useful as an opportunity to refresh their approach to implementing the Plan on their clients' farms, and benefit from assistance with data interpretation and selection of Plan priorities.
Delegates will be expected to present a herd case example, including clinical mastitis and cell count data as well as bacteriology if available, and findings following a mastitis control 'ePlan'.
