This micro-credential course will cover the basic structure of the beef cattle industry in Ontario and was designed to take advantage of the recent changes to the Veterinarians Act. Common diseases, cattle handling, and hands on performance of technical procedures and sampling form the basis of material. This course is intended for RVTs who have an interest in beef cattle.

This micro-credential was designed by Gabriel Jantzi, the 2023-24 President of the Ontario Association of Bovine Practitioners and a practicing veterinarian with Metzger Veterinary Services in Chelsey, Ontario.

Successful candidates will be able to function independently and confidently as part of a veterinary service delivery team.

These micro-credentials are offered online through approximately 60 hours of instruction and 2 ½ day in-person farm school assessments in Haileybury, Ontario.

Cost: $1500
