If you have breeding females and you take only one workshop, a Neonatal Clinic with hands-on lab is probably the most important one to attend.
The neonatal workshop will cover:
- Reproductive anatomy & physiology
- Breeding & pregnancy diagnosis
- Gestational development
- Care of pregnant dam
- Normal & abnormal birthing
- Care of normal and high-risk crias
The clinic includes a hands-on lab to help you prepare for handling a dystocia (abnormal position). Learn to determine the position of the cria, how to correct some dystocias and when to call the vet.
Course fee: $135/person, $225 for 2 from same ranch.
All workshops include continental breakfast, lunch, and course materials.
