The Milksure training which is taking place on 22nd August 2018 is now full.  There is a cancellation list and if you wish to be put on this, contact the VetNI office asap.  There was a quite high demand for this course and due to this AVSPNI have decided to run the course again at the Slieve Donard on Friday 12th October where we will be holding our AVSPNI Autumn Conference.  Why not make the most of your time there and stay on at the Slieve Donard and enjoy a few days of top quality CPD at AVSPNI Autumn Conference following the training!  If you would like to be put on the list for Octobers training, contact VetNI to register.

The course entails ‘Understanding medicine residues in milk and how the MilkSure course works’.  Eventually ALL farmers will have to undertake milksure training and it is important that Vets delivering Milksure training to clients must be familiar with it and well-prepared to deliver it effectively.  Owen Atkinson is a specialist in cattle health and production and will be our speaker for both our training sessions.
