Course overview

This core rotation will develop skills and knowledge in relation to the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery in cattle, sheep, other farmed production animal species, and occasionally horses and companion animals, as appropriate. The rotation will cover the diagnosis, control, prevention and treatment of the important conditions in these species at the individual, group and population level. The application of population medicine, husbandry and nutrition in improving health, welfare, productivity and profitability will be emphasised.

Students will undertake experiences within clinic, ambulatory and on-farm settings that may be carried out off-site. Some weekend and out of hours work may be expected within the rotation.
