Calendar Events

The goal of Holycross Herd Health is to provide both farmers and veterinary practitioners in the Holycross area with expert speakers on disease prevention and various topical farming issues. The theme of the evening talks will be “Education, Innovation & Investigation”, and we would like to make this a regular event. We are delighted with the support received to date from local service providers, and this bodes well for the continued success of this initiative.  All proceeds raised from the meetings will go towards the John Doyle Centre, and a pre- selected charity . We have selected BÓTHAR as the recipient charity for our first meeting. Please find attached on this email, details of our first meeting which will take place on the 28^th of August in the John Doyle Centre in Holycross.

This year the CAVI conference moves to the Radisson Hotel in Galway for our annual meeting. The conference is delighted to bring a range of speakers from throughout Ireland and Europe for what is sure to be a highly educational and fun-filled week- end.

The conference will cover many themes from infectious disease and diagnostics, to animal health economics, bovine surgery and cattle fertility. We hope that you are pleased with the range of topics and speakers which we have selected for this year’s conference. This year we have speakers from the UK, Switzerland, Germany, and The Netherlands at the conference together with a variety of speakers from Ireland.

This year also sees the continuation of pre-conference workshops. These workshops provide delegates with an opportunity to work in small groups and gain a more inter- active experience of the topics being covered.

Galway is renowned for its pleasant atmosphere both on the shopping streets and in the many pubs and social venues around the city. This year the conference dinner will take place in the fabulous “Twelve Hotel”, Barna. Guests can be assured of a night of excellent food and good entertainment. We believe that the CAVI conference 2013 will be an educational and enjoyable experience for all who attend, and we would ask delegates to bring their spouses/partners to Galway to share in the “craic”.
