 _text]\nAPHA approved DIY Artificial Insemination (AI) Course\nWhy choose 
 this course?\nIf you would like to learn how to safely and successfully ar
 tificially inseminate cows this course is for you. Shepton Vets have run m
 any AI courses over the years training delegates of all ages and backgroun
 ds.\n\nWe use a combination of classroom theory and on farm practical sess
 ions during this 3-day course. We have a training cow that is unique to Sh
 epton Vets AI courses that will help you learn this new skill.\n\nCompleti
 on of this course leads to a licenced AI certificate. We offer a follow up
  visit to your farm after the course to support progression[/vc_column_tex

 s are available on request\nRefresher courses are for those who have done 
 a full AI course and hold an AI certificate. We regularly run these on a o
 ne-to-one basis on farm. These sessions are designed for those wanting to 
 improve their confidence with AI or for those that haven’t inseminated c
 ows recently. Perhaps you are just about to start serving and want to maxi
 mise your chances of generating as many pregnancies as possible.\n\nWe are
  often able to suggest some fine tuning to semen handling or gun placement
  that can improve AI results. Contact the office to find out more.[/vc_col

 \nA classroom session that begins by covering the legislation relating to 
 AI\, the anatomy of the female cow’s reproductive tract\, how and when t
 o AI cows\, fertility management to maximise the chances of successful pre
 gnancies\, how to thaw semen and load an AI guns. This session is interact
 ive\, and we use lots of visual aids to aid understanding and make this tr
 aining memorable.\n\nA practical session follows using abattoir specimens 
 to reinforce what was discussed in the theory session.\n\nThe training cow
  replicates the anatomy and feel of a real cow. She is used to give experi
 ence of passing an AI gun through the cervix before moving onto real cows 
 during day 2 and 3.\n\nDay 2\n\nThis day is spent on farm with lots of cow
 s to practice on. The purpose is this day is to give you as much practice 
 as possible at safely passing AI guns through cow’s cervixes. Our vets w
 ill support you to optimise gun position inside of the cow.\n\nDay 3\n\nTh
 is day is spent on farm with more cows to practice on. The purpose of this
  day is to consolidate skills picked up on day 1 and 2 and continue practi
 cing on live cows. There will be an informal assessment at the end where y
 ou will AI cows with lube and we will ultrasound scan the cows to confirm 
 positioning.\n\nFollow up session\n\nThis will be offered 6- 8 weeks after
  your course if you live within an hour of Shepton Mallet. This session is
  used to check progression\, if you have had any difficulties these can be
  discussed and acted on as necessary.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row
