** A brand new CPD course for vets, generously sponsored by BOVA UK **

This BEVA-approved comprehensive two day course of lectures, case presentations and discussion groups will cover multiple aspects of youngstock growth and development. It will provide delegates with both the most recent and cutting edge research on a range of critically appraised topics, as well as a wealth of clinical experience from multiple renowned specialists from across the UK and Europe.

Day one will initially concentrate on raising the foal for future performance and assessing and reacting to conformational issues.Talks will be given bya surgical specialist, a veterinary researcher, farrier and stud manager, providing an all-round perspective of managing these cases. The programme will move on to cover airway assessment, surgical options and prognosis and then both OCD and CVM in young horses. An in-depth sales radiography panel will discuss the importance of radiographic findings, both from a sales and future performance point of view. The first day will conclude with talks on nutrition, both at the herd level and also in the individual.

The second day will start with the every important topic of parasite problems and the use of anthelmintics. Delegates will be given detailed talks from world renowned leaders in this field on topics including diagnostics in worm control, pasture and non-anthelmintic control strategies and anthelmintic resistance, along side some practical advise on formulating a parasite control programme suitable for youngstock. A case discussion will follow on the management of a recent outbreak. The programme will then move onto the medical management of the older foal, weanling and yearling with topics including respiratory and gastrointestinal disease, the gut microbiome and a case based discussion on endocarditis, weight loss and respiratory conditions in the individual sick animal.
