On May 5, the training will be held for cattle producers, while on May 6 it will focus on specialists in the pig sector. The program is centered on practical aspects of operating under the new veterinary requirements, which are already raising numerous questions among producers.
In particular, participants will cover:
- prescription-based use of antibiotics;
- the role of a licensed veterinarian;
- requirements for record-keeping and traceability;
- action algorithms in case of animal disease.
Special attention will be given to the practical component: working with case studies will allow participants to practice decision-making related to treatment and the management of antimicrobial use at the farm level.
According to the organizers, the goal of the trainings is not only to transfer knowledge but also to help producers adapt to the new regulatory framework:
“Today, producers have many practical questions regarding the new veterinary requirements — from antibiotic use to documentation. That is why we focus on explanations and applied solutions that can be implemented directly on farms.”
The training series is aimed at building a systematic approach to animal health management and the rational use of antibiotics in line with modern industry requirements.
Participation in the trainings is free of charge; however, the number of places is limited. To register, please call: +380 68 862 94 96.
