Join us for a discussion about practical assessments and interventions for newborn small ruminants with Dr. Michelle Kutzler of Oregon State University.  

In this episode we review Apgar scoring as an assessment tool for newborn lambs and their need for intervention after birth as well as a technique for assisting lambs that struggle with the transition of birth called the Madigan Squeeze. This technique was popularized in horses but has also been used in cattle.

In this episode, we hear from Dr. Kelly Still-Brooks and Allysen Lower, the president of Colorado State University's AASRP student chapter. Students and faculty alike will be impressed by the initiative that Allysen has taken to bring her colleagues valuable hands-on experiences to prepare them for clinical practice. Tune in to hear what Dr. Still-Brooks and Allysen have to say about the importance of mastering the basics, including small ruminant and camelid husbandry and behavior. Most importantly in this episode, students will be reminded of their most valuable resource—each other.

In this episode, we welcome back to the podcast Dr. Mike Pesato. This time, Dr. Pesato shares his experience as the AASRP faculty liaison for the students at Mississippi State University. You'll also gain his and Lesley's insights into the Emerging Leader program--an excellent opportunity for young small ruminant and camelid practitioners to become involved in the organization. 

We hope this episode motivates other students who are passionate about small ruminants to take an active role in their education, just as the students at Mississippi State have done.  From labs focusing on animal handling to practicing transabdominal ultrasound for pregnancy diagnosis, the AASRP student representatives at Mississippi State are making tremendous efforts to add hands-on experiences to their curriculum.

Dr. Pesato is the current chair of the College Liaison Committee for AASRP and an assistant clinical professor in the Department of Pathobiology and Population Medicine at Mississippi State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. As you will appreciate, he is a passionate small ruminant practitioner and educator of veterinary students. In this episode, Dr. Pesato tells us more about the AASRP Student Symposium, an exciting opportunity for students to gain insight into small ruminant and camelid practice from clinicians in the private and public sectors.

Welcome to Season 2 of Baas and Bleats!  
 
 In this season, Dr. Lesley Moser and Dr. Ann DiPastina, the 2022 AASRP Emerging Leaders, interview faculty liaisons and student representatives from veterinary colleges across North America to find out what they’re doing to prepare the next generation of veterinarians for small ruminant and camelid practice.
 
 What is the AASRP Emerging Leader Program?
 
The Emerging Leaders Program gives young veterinarians with a passion for small ruminants an opportunity to become involved in leadership experiences within the American Association of Small Ruminant Practitioners.  As an Emerging Leader, you’ll get to practice your leadership skills, network with members of various AASRP committees, and gain a better understanding of the role of organized medicine in the veterinary profession.  You’ll also attend the Veterinary Leadership Conference, which is an excellent chance to develop relationships with leaders across many disciplines of veterinary medicine including academia and government.
 
Probably the most exciting part of the Emerging Leaders Program, though, is designing and executing a project which integrates your interests in small ruminant medicine with the needs of the membership of AASRP.
 
This year, Lesley and Ann have teamed up with other members of AASRP, including Dr. Michelle Buckley, to bring you the organization’s first podcast, “Baas and Bleats”. 
 
In Season 1, you heard from Michelle about managing milk quality in dairy goats. Now, in Season 2, we’ll be shifting gears to focus on our student membership. We hope these episodes empower veterinary students by highlighting examples of stellar faculty mentorship and excellent student initiative.
