VETS6132: Dairy Cattle Industry Placement
2025 unit information
The dairy cattle industry placement is part of the Extramural Studies Program providing a unique opportunity to increase your knowledge of animal industries and husbandry which is foundational for clinical practice. It also provides an opportunity to observe normal animal behaviour, refine animal handling skills and learn common industry terminology which is important for communication in clinical practice. The unit involves a one-week practical experience at a School approved external commercial dairy farm. You will be under the supervision of an external supervisor who will liaise with the school, review the aims of the placement with you, and assesses your performance via a standard report form. The Supervisor Report at the end of the placement will include information on your performance and attendance. You are expected to fully participate in agreed activities whilst attending the placement, typically taking on the role of a full-time, supervised associate.
