Introduction
The Royal Veterinary College and the Dairy Development Centre have established a collaboration called the Welsh Regional Veterinary Centre. The WRVC provides a farm health investigation service to vets and farmers in Wales. The service will be delivered throughout Wales.
During these investigations the team (two veterinarians and five veterinary students) will work with the farmers’ own vets to identify problems that might impair the productivity, health or welfare of animals in the herd or flock.
The inquiry usually involves a series of farm visits for individual animal examination, production evaluation, and an analysis of any relevant management processes.
The main remit of the WRVC is to educate final year veterinary students, to prepare them to solve a population centred problem. This problem could be of infectious nature or a production disease, or a combination of both. A key aspect of the investigations is the mutual benefit received by farmer, vet and vet students.
