Bimeda Launches Online Nutrition Academy
Great news for the Ireland's veterinarians, Responsible Persons and animal health professionals: Bimeda is pleased to announce the launch of its online Nutrition Academy, which in 2021 will focus on the important role of trace element nutrition in the health, fertility and productivity of ruminants.
The Nutrition Academy launch follows on from Bimeda's highly successful Sheep Scab Academy, which saw veterinarians, vet nurses, responsible persons and other animal health professionals complete accredited modules related to best practice for sheep scab prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
The academy will consist of three modules which will be launched during 2021. Those who successfully complete all three modules will receive certification from Bimeda, as well as some exclusive branded goodies.
The first module in the trio is titled Trace Elements in Dairy Cow Fertility & Pregnancy and is available now on Bimeda's e-learning portal. The module accounts for 1 hour 15 minutes of CPD and a certificate confirming completion can be downloaded after the module is finished.
In the coming months Bimeda will add a second module focused on the role of trace element nutrition in lamb and calf growth and thrive, and a final module focused on the role of trace elements in sheep fertility and pregnancy.
Bimeda Ireland General Manager Andrew Glynn commented, 'trace elements play a critical role in the health and fertility of ruminants, yet historically this area has been somewhat overlooked in formal animal health education.
Our customers tell us that they would like a deeper understanding of areas such as trace element deficiencies, toxicities and interactions, and the impact of these on ruminant health and fertility. We are pleased to respond to this market demand with our new academy, which will provide vets, responsible persons and others in the industry with additional knowledge to help inform their conversations with farmers.'
