The University of Sydney (Australia) and the University of British Columbia (Canada) have put together an online symposium featuring leaders and early career scientists in the field of youngstock management. The goal is to exchange ideas and engage in interdisciplinary discussion about the future of calf care (including dairy, beef and dual-purpose animals). There will be several exciting keynote speakers across a range of research topics, including:
- Calf Nutrition and Weaning (Dr. Mike Van Amburgh, Cornell University)
- Human-animal Dimensions (Dr. Alison Bard, University of Bristol)
- Understanding the Individual (Dr. Kristina Horback, University of California-Davis)
- Cow-calf management (Dr. Julie Føske Johnsen, Norwegian Veterinary Institute)
