Day 4 surprised us with a master class on prevention and treatment of lameness, where we were visually shown the processing of hooves by a cow. An additional practical day was the fifth day in EkoNiva. Under the strict supervision of high-class specialists, all students managed to work out previously covered topics in various practical groups: newborn animals, a group of mastitis, artificial insemination, a group of calves, a feeding and selection group.
