{"product_id":"a-toolkit-for-the-pig-visit","title":"A toolkit for the pig visit","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this session, Gemma Thwaites and Pete Siviter will be providing an overview of husbandry, management and veterinary interventions in small scale pig herds. When faced with a pig visit, especially as a vet who does not specialise in this species, the difficulties surrounding handling and restraint can pose real problems so we will be giving advice on how physically to go about this in order to make the visit smoother and to manage your own (and clients’!) expectations. The second half of the session will be a ‘Question and Answer’, where we will take questions from the floor about common situations and how to deal with them – most particularly the methods available for euthanasia. Further resources and where to turn for help will be included as part of the session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1)Understand the main veterinary interventions that may be required in small scale pig herds\u003cbr\u003e2) Gain an overview of small scale pig husbandry and management\u003cbr\u003e3)Improve confidence in handling pigs\u003cbr\u003e4)Appropriate sites for injection\u003cbr\u003e5)Top tips for pig euthanasia\u003cbr\u003e6)Where to turn to for resources and further help\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChairperson\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMandy Nevel, Head of Animal Health and Welfare - AHDB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeakers\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePeter Siviter, Farm Veterinary Surgeon - Synergy Farm Health\u003cbr\u003eGemma Thwaites, BVA Representative - Pig Veterinary Society\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epartnership with\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"PVS\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.asp.events\/CLIENT_CloserSt_D86EA381_5056_B739_5482D50A1A831DDD\/sites\/bva-live-2024\/media\/PVS-logo.png?width=700\" width=\"149\" height=\"52\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented at BVA Live 2025 \u003cbr\u003e13 Jun 2025 11:35 - 12:15 Equine \u0026amp; Farm Clinical Theatre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-teams=\"true\"\u003ePlease note this session is not RACE-approved but you can still earn a CPD certificate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BVA Live 2025","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60313167823134,"sku":"dey1791942316964","price":13.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/1992\/9374\/files\/a-toolkit-for-the-pig-visit_1.png?v=1791942326","url":"https:\/\/upcycledstylewear.shop\/products\/a-toolkit-for-the-pig-visit","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
