Last month Sally hosted our popular DEFRA approved 3-day DIY AI training course 🐄

See below how this lovely group got on to obtain their DEFRA certificate for Artificial Insemination in cattle! 👏🏻

At Evolution, we believe in sharing veterinary knowledge with farmers. The ability to inseminate their own cows enables farmers to have more control over their future genetics, as well as give them more autonomy over timing of AI, amongst many other benefits. Providing a mixture of theory and heavily focussed on practical training on-farm, this DEFRA-approved course gives you (or your team) the skills and confidence required to successfully AI dairy cows.

A successful outcome for emergency caesarean 🐑

A recent visit to a ewe with ring womb meant that a caesarean had to be done for the safety of both ewe and lamb.

Upon arrival, vet, George examined the ewe who was in some discomfort and showing no signs of progressing to lamb normally.

For the best outcome, the decision to perform the caesarean was made quickly, leading to George successfully delivering a healthy lamb, who he left happily bonding with ewe.
