In this episode, AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Brandon Treichler and Dr. Justine Britten to discuss the upcoming AABP Milk Quality Seminar. The seminar will be held in Ashland, Ohio, May 16-17, 2025. This seminar is approved for 15 hours of continuing education in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval. The fee for the seminar is $450 and a local hotel block has been secured for just $129 per night which includes breakfast. Attendees are also provided lunch on both days of the seminar. AABP is offering these seminars outside of the annual and recent graduate conference to expand our CE opportunities for members at a lower cost and less time away from practice.
Mastitis is the number one disease affecting dairy cows and it is important for dairy veterinarians to understand how to develop comprehensive milk quality programs for their clients. Treichler emphasizes that veterinarians are uniquely positioned to help their clients be successful and milk quality is an important part of that success. Although somatic cell counts in U.S. and Canadian herds have been on the decline, but clinical mastitis rates can be problematic on dairies. Britten will be leading the diagnostic portions of the seminar including correct plating, reading plates and discussing other mastitis diagnostics which will be clinically relevant and practical. We also discuss the farm visit portion of the seminar where we will participate in parlor observation, equipment evaluation, employee monitoring and training, environmental evaluation and stall evaluation.
This seminar will be useful to the novice milk quality consultant, and will also provide information for those wanting to advance their current skill set. This seminar is limited to 25 attendees, and you must be an AABP member to attend. Veterinary technicians who are AABP members are also welcome to attend and practices can send technicians to learn these skills to support the veterinary team.
