BCVA webinar to discuss pathology topics

A webinar by the BCVA covering postmortem examination of calves is taking place on Tuesday 13 October.

A visual presentation will review common lesions seen in calves at postmortem examination, organised broadly by organ system.

It will also outline brief pathogenesis for each lesion or disease process, suggest options for cost-effective further confirmatory laboratory testing, and cover diseases seen in autumn and winter.

Objectives

The webinar, led by vet Ben Strugnell, has the following learning objectives:

• Recognise common pathology in calves at postmortem examination (with an emphasis on diseases more common in winter).
• Decide when to undertake further confirmatory laboratory testing and which samples to consider if this is appropriate.
• Consider when – and when not – to undertake postmortem examinations on-farm.
• Get a better understanding of the pathogenesis of common diseases in calves.
• Revise differential diagnoses for common lesions found at postmortem examination.

Spaces on the webinar can be booked online.
