Welcome to this learning module about general health.

At The Schippers Group we talk about health from the preventive point of view. Suppliers of vaccinations and feed talk about diseases. However, a farmer can earn much more by keeping animals healthy than by fighting diseases.

By improving hygiene on a farm, the infection pressure will decrease. A low infection pressure and a low amount of sick animals ensure a high animal performance. This is also the principle behind HyCare.

In this learning module, we will teach you the basics of epidemiology, the fundamentals of external biosecurity and we will finish with the animal diseases we encounter in the market.

Have fun learning!
