The Goat Veterinary Society (GVS) has produced a DVD designed to help veterinary surgeons to disbud goats. Produced in association with the BVA Animal Welfare Foundation the DVD is in memory of the late Mike Teale MRCVS, following a donation from his family.

The DVD discusses the potential problems associated with disbudding kid goats and provides guidance on how to avoid them.

It shows the best technique for disbudding from start to finish and discusses anatomical considerations, methods of anaesthesia and analgesia and disbudding, with particular attention drawn to the regulatory aspects as they currently apply in the UK.

For further information on the GVS DVD, including obtaining a copy, at a cost of £10, please visit click here (PDF).
