Livestock and Climate Change Webinar - Watch it again!

Our e-learning course Livestock and Climate Change - A Veterinary Perspective is designed to equip farm veterinary professionals with knowledge on the key issues of our time – climate change and animal health and welfare, and leverage our unique role as trusted advisors to the food and farming businesses around the world.

In June, the VetSalus team held an introductory webinar on the course, inviting interested individuals to hear more on the topic. Katrine Lawaetz gave an overview of the climate impact of livestock production, the planetary challenges we face, and how vets have a pivotal role to play in the fight against climate change. Megan Williamson then provided an overview of the course curriculum.

More about the course:

Livestock and Climate Change is a 6-module course that is expected to take between 3 and 4 months to complete by remote learning, and has been designed to fit around busy work and life schedules. Developed by VetSalus, the course will provide successful learners with a LANTRA-accredited certificate.

Featuring referenced guides, quizzes, assignments and optional deep dives, the course covers modules such as ‘Emissions from Livestock Production’, ‘Impact of Disease State on Greenhouse Gas Emissions ’ and ‘Advantages and Trade-offs of Grazing Systems in Mitigating Climate Change’. Students will join an international community of veterinary professionals taking the course, and have the opportunity to interact with fellow learners through discussion forums. Each module features a Module Champion who will highlight the ways in which the course content is relevant to and can be applied to veterinary work.

The course is aimed at veterinary professionals and those working in vet-led businesses, and whilst there are no specific entry requirements, all students are expected to have undertaken an undergraduate degree, technical qualification as a paraprofessional, or a relevant diploma. The price of the course is £495 +VAT per student (with overseas pricing available).
