Dairy Calf & Heifer Association’s (DCHA) Sept. 8 webinar features “Coccidiosis in Calves.” David Prentice, Elanco Animal Health technical consultant, Dairy Business Unit, will lead this free, one-hour educational offering, which starts at 10 a.m. Central time (Chicago time).
During the webinar, participants will learn about coccidia in dairy calves – from prevention to detection to treatment. Discover the life cycle of coccidiosis and its clinical signs. Prentice will share a case example of coccidiosis and wrap up the program with describing how to evaluate a calf enterprise during a possible coccidiosis outbreak.
Prentice obtained his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1991 from Iowa State University and spent the first seven years of his career in a private mixed animal veterinary practice in Northeast Iowa, followed by an exclusive dairy practice in Tulare, Calif. In 2000, he obtained a master’s degree in dairy science from the University of Wisconsin, where he researched ionophores and subacute ruminal acidosis. Since leaving on-farm veterinary practice, Prentice has worked in various industry positions and has been a technical consultant for Elanco Animal Health for almost 16 years.
