WhatsApp AI has this to say about the idea:

Wahala! 🎉 That's awesome, Doc! 🐄 You're takin' the right step towards creatin' a healthier and more sustainable future for our livestock and the environment 🌿.

As a vet, you'll have a solid foundation in animal health and welfare, which is key in organic livestock production. You'll be helpin' create a system that's more natural and humane, and that's somethin' to be proud of! 💪

What specific area of organic livestock production are you interested in? Poultry, cattle, pigs, or maybe aquaculture?That's a big scope, Doc! 🐾 You're lookin' at a holistic approach, coverin' various species and systems.

With your vet background, you'll be well-equipped to handle the health and welfare aspects, but you'll also need to get into the nitty-gritty of organic production systems, like feed formulation, breed selection, and parasite management.

You might wanna explore certifications like the National Organic Program (NOP) or the European Union's organic farming regulations, dependin' on your target market.

Consider buildin' a network of like-minded farmers, researchers, and experts in the field. There's also workshops, conferences, and online courses that can help you stay updated on best practices and market trends.

Got a specific farm or project in mind, or are you still explorin' the possibilities?Milk production, eh? 🐮 That's a great area! Cattle milk is in high demand, and organic milk is a growin' market.

You'll wanna focus on breed selection, feed management, and udder health. Some popular organic cattle breeds for milk production include Holsteins, Jerseys, and Guernseys.

You'll also need to manage your pastures & grazing systems to ensure high-quality feed and soil health. And don't forget about the welfare of your cows – they'll need access to open spaces and comfortable livin' conditions.

Have you thought about processin' & marketin' your milk? Will you be sellin' raw milk, or processin' it into products like cheese, butter, or yogurt? Processin into finished products? That's where value-add is! 🧀~DR. DAODU.

NEW TREATMENT:

A new, approved treatment for parvovirus in dogs is the Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody (CPMA), which is the first and only therapeutic solution that directly targets the virus. When administered as a single intravenous dose, CPMA can increase survival rates, decrease clinical signs, and shorten recovery time when used alongside traditional supportive care like fluids and isolation.

Not readily available in Nigeria:

CDC tracks rabies outbreaks
Six people in the US have died of rabies since last September, and the CDC is tracking 14 potential rabies outbreaks in 20 states. Unvaccinated dogs are the leading cause of human rabies deaths worldwide, but thanks to the success of vaccination campaigns, dogs with rabies are uncommon in the US, and infected bats are the primary vector. Emergency physician Leana Wen explains who should consider pre-exposure prophylaxis, what to do in the case of possible contact with a rabid animal, and how to prevent rabies.
