Veterinarians serving the dairy industry need a sophisticated understanding of population medicine, epidemiology and economics. This course will build on concepts covered in foundation courses and provide practice in applying epidemiology and economics principles to dairy production medicine. While focused on dairy cattle, the skills learned are applicable to other food animal production systems. The course will include lectures and computer laboratories; attendance and participation in group discussions and team problem solving is a key part of the course.
