Study With Us: Graduate Certificate in Dairy Herd Health
The Graduate Certificate in Dairy Herd Health draws on the experience gained by the UCD Dairy Herd Health Group in investigating many herd problems throughout Ireland. The programme consists of modules in herd health skills, dairy herd fertility, nutrition and production disease, milk quality and mastitis, calf health and heifer rearing, and bio-secure/infectious diseases. The programme has been designed for Irish conditions and production systems, and how Irish veterinarians deal with issues in this area.
Applications are currently being accepted for the next cycle of the Graduate Certificate in Dairy Herd Health beginning in August 2024. This is a distance programme that is delivered online through the use of problem-based learning with current herd problems providing the necessary material. It is expected that students will attend four to five face-to-face teaching days at UCD’s Lyons research farm. The programme runs for 18 months, from August 2024 to December 2025 (excluding March to May 2025).
