Ruldolph and the Christmas turkey

I am Emma, and I am one of the senior lecturers in farm animals. I am cow-mad or a mad cow depending on your opinion! I am not from a farming background, but have loved cows from my first work experience and think they are the most amazing animals. Rudolph is similar to cows - with a few adaptations - so why not come and find out more and as a cow vet I shall discuss my encounters with the Christmas turkey! 

Dr Emma Fishbourne

Senior Farm Animal Lecturer

 

Festive Folly

‘tis the season to be jolly.  But the coming Christmas festivities also bring certain risks for our pets. In this talk, we'll explore how big data can help us understand the risks of chocolate poisoning in dogs during the festive season.

Professor Alan Radford

Location: Hulme Room at Ness Gardens. 

 

Drinks and mince pies will be served before the talks.
