North American Veterinary Conference 2013

The North American Veterinary Conference was held between January 19th-23rd 2013 in Orlando, Florida. Paul Redmond MVB MRCVS Cert DHH was among 60 delegates who made the trip to further their knowledge. The conference was of vast proportions with over 300 lecturers talking for 1100 hours, so it was quite a job to decide which lectures to attend. Paul felt that while the lectures on the bovine side offered an opportunity to refresh certain aspects they also confirmed that we are more than up to date in Ireland with the developments in agri-veterinary thinking throughout the world.

The 9th of January proved to be another great night out for those who attended the Prime Health Vets presentation “Better Calf Health & Disease Prevention”. Our two speakers, David J Renney  and Dr. Jim O’ Donovan gave a lot of information and food for thought. The night was finished off with a cheque presentation to Jeremy Meehan of Bóthar to the value of €4000 which were the proceeds of the night. A very big thank you to all who attended and helped make up this contribution.

We have co-founded Prime Health Vets which is a group of 10 Irish veterinary practices. While we will continue to operate our practice as before, we will be able to use PHV to supply you with topical and profitable advice through newsletters, and also be able to invite you to practical training days and seminars. As the only Irish based organisation of its kind, PHV links the unique qualities of Irish farm production with the demands of the global marketplace. The first seminar, Healthy Animals for Healthy Profits, takes place at Corrin Mart, Rathcormac, on Wednesday 3rd October. The speakers on the night will be Dr Paddy Wall, who is a world authority on food safety, and Riona Sayers, one of the most respected researchers on the effect that animal diseases have on animal health and therefore farm profits.
