The objective of the veterinary extension program for dairy cattle is to provide educational leadership and assistance to the Florida Dairy Industry in matters related to health and health management of dairy cattle.  The target audience includes Florida dairy farmers, managers, employees, agri-business, practicing veterinarians, hoof trimmers and all other allied industry affiliates.  Specific areas of emphasis include: development of programs for dairy farmers such as reproductive management, implentation of reproductive programs and evaluation of reproductive efficiency, development of training programs for dairy employees such as transition cow management, calving management and newborn care, identifying and treating sick animals, calf raising, hoof trimming and milk quality, and the continued improvement of animal well-being in livestock production.

The goal of equine veterinary extension is to establish educational programs which serve the needs of the equine industry in Florida and promote the health and welfare of the horse. Equine veterinary extension serves as a liaison between the University of Florida’s veterinary community, the horse industry in Florida, horse owners, and county extension faculty. Equine veterinary extension also encompasses consulting about equine health and disease, teaching the University of Florida’s veterinary and pre-veterinary students, and promoting, performing, and disseminating information on equine research. Dr. Amanda House is the faculty coordinator for these programs.
