Workshop 3
 
Animal health & growth

Animal health, prevention and treatment of illness
A more sophisticated agenda, looking closely at different animals and evaluating how fit and well they are.  Discussions about how we treat animals to keep them as healthy as possible, and what we do if we find them to be poorly.

Babies & breeding
From eggs, through incubation (even looking at chicks inside their eggs), to care during hatching and early days of life. We cover similar subjects with our pigs and goats, and look at different characteristics (such as colour and size) that are bred through from parents to offspring.

Growth and seasonal changes
Further discussions showing how our animals go through their “teenage” months/years and transition into adulthood, and how they change look and behaviour through the seasons.
