Fracture Management in Farm Animals

Includes a Live Web Event on 06/11/2025 at 6:00 PM (EDT)

Fracture management in farm animals can be both challenging and rewarding. Determining the best management strategy is often not only based on the fracture itself but also on regulatory concerns, costs, owner expectations, and animal use, which can range from pet to production. This webinar will provide a summary of a few management strategies and the ideal circumstances for their implementation.
