On February 20, Maya Meesters will publicly defend her PhD entitled: Small beginnings, lasting effects: The role of prenatal environment on dairy heifer performance. In the context of this public defense, we will welcome professor Claire Wathes, emeritus prof at the Royal Veterinary College (London, UK) at our department.
During this meet the jury event, we invite PhD students to discuss about their work on calf management in dairy and beef farms. Professor Wathes herself will give an introductory talk entitled: Rearing successful dairy herd replacements: the journey from conception to first calving.
