Virginia Cooperative Extension - Knowledge for the CommonWealth

Virginia Tech Livestock and Poultry Youth Weekend, March 5-6, 1999

Livestock Update, February 1999

Mark Wahlberg, Extension Animal Scientist, 4-H Livestock, Animal and Poultry Sciences, Virginia Tech

The Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences at Virginia Tech is pleased to announce the fourth annual Virginia Tech Livestock and Poultry Youth Weekend. Program sessions will involve work with high technology applications of science with animals. Cutting edge topics will dominate the schedule. For example: what does ultrasound do and what can it tell us; delivering a live calf and dealing with dystocia; learning how animals digest their feed; and many more timely topics. Every subject will have direct application to animal production. There will also be topics to help participants see how they fit into the world of livestock production and animal science.
