VETLEARN - Veterinarians, hobby farmers and backyard livestock
About the course
Veterinarians, hobby farmers and backyard livestock is a new e-learning course as part of a national initiative between the Department of Primary Industries, Animal Health Australia and the Australian Veterinary Association.
It is a two-hour online course that provides veterinarians with the confidence and resources to build their business and improve engagement with hobby farmers, smallholders and clients with backyard livestock. The course will help veterinarians improve biosecurity outcomes with smallholders, resulting in early detection of disease.
