You’re Invited to Free Animal Care Workshops

You and your employees are invited to one of five, free animal care workshops being held across the state this spring! Hosted by the Center for Dairy Excellence, PA Beef Council, the Professional Dairy Managers of Pennsylvania (PDMP) and Penn State Extension, the workshops will help you boost your skills in key animal welfare areas to meet National FARM compliance.

These workshops are for dairy farm owners and/or their employees. They will satisfy the FARM requirements for the following training areas:

  1. Antibiotic Stewardship and Pain Management
  2. Calf Care and Nutrition
  3. Fitness for Transport and Quality Assurance. You’ll have the opportunity to get recertified in Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) if interested.
  4. Biosecurity

More Details About the Workshops:

  • The workshops will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in five locations across the state throughout March and April. View dates and locations below.
  • Lunch will be provided at each event.
  • The workshops are ideal for both English and Spanish-speaking employees. Please make sure to register in advance if you are Spanish-speaking or bringing Spanish speakers along with you, so we can make sure an interpreter is present.
  • Join us for an optional tour of a nearby dairy farm at the end of the workshop. When you register, let us know whether you are interested in this farm tour so we can plan appropriate transportation and biosecurity measures.
  • A certificate will be provided at the conclusion of each workshop to show your commitment to National FARM and animal care.
