Calf pneumonia is often a problem on farms and, due to its multifactorial causes, it can be difficult to control. Understanding more of the anatomy and getting some hints on on doing quick on farm Post Mortems can provide some useful information. Ultrasound scanning the lungs, to see if there are signs of damage and/or abscess, can be a great way to educate and motivate the farmer, as well as a way of monitoring progress after changes have been put in place. This one-day course also covers housing, a limiting factor in pneumonia control, with a practical housing assessment included on the day on farm.
