Webinar series to explore fertility solutions for dairy farming
The webinar will update vets on how they can support the implementation of new fertility solutions.
The series will cover sustainability, sexed semen and fertility management.

Ceva Animal Health is launching a webinar series to update vets on how they can support the implementation of new fertility solutions for the future of dairy farming.

The first webinar, 'managing fertility to enhance sustainability', takes place on 16 June, presented by Dr June Capper, a livestock sustainability consultant and AABP chair in sustainable beef production at Harper Adams University.

On 21 June, Dr Stephen Butler, principal research scientist and group leader for dairy cattle reproduction research at Teagasc, will explore how vets can promote the use of sexed semen in dairy herds. 

This will be followed by a session on the 'practical implementation of sexed semen strategies', delivered by Dr Tom Clark, veterinary surgeon and clinical director of Synergy Farm Health. 

Attendees will be able to submit questions to the expert speakers and will receive a certificate for one hour of CPD. The sessions are also being recorded so that delegates can watch them again.

To register for the webinars, email Cevauk-webinars@ceva.com stating your name, practice name and the date(s) of the event/s you wish to attend.
