PD your own cows

4-day course

Scanning is the most accurate method of pregnancy diagnosing cows. In comparison to other methods, scanning is the most time-effective and puts minimal stress on the animals. The ability to date pregnancies and early determination of barren cows gives farmers a huge advantage in forward-planning.
This DEFRA and LANTRA approved course is aimed at non–veterinarians who wish to learn the art of pregnancy diagnosis for own-farm use or as a commercial enterprise.

Theory of Ultrasonography
Physiology of Reproduction
Scanning Techniques
