Vet Times Podcast

Inflammatory conditions of cattle have been a focus for research in the past few years, so we’re now much more aware of the impact inflammation can have and how important it is to control. Last year’s updated Red Tractor standards on pain management have helped to bring a renewed focus on pain control. So now seems a good time to review the science behind pain and inflammation in cattle and how best to manage them. In today’s podcast, we’ll be talking with Chris Hudson, of the University of Nottingham – but who is offering his own personal thoughts and interpretations – and Kath Aplin, from Boehringer Ingelheim, about inflammation in cattle, and looking at areas where outcomes might be improved by controlling or modifying inflammatory processes. This podcast is sponsored the makers of Metacam, Boehringer Ingelheim.   ______________________ CHRIS HUDSON BVSc DCHP MRCVS Chris qualified from the University of Bristol in 2002, and has worked in commercial practice and academia.
