Practical Homeopathy - Animal Fertility and Mastitis Prevention and Treatment

This full day course is an introduction to the immediate and long term benefits of homoeopathic remedies for mastitis, improved herd fertility and general herd health. 

Delivered by Pat Aherne and Tom Farrington this course is for anyone working in the Agri/Health sector and the content is relevant whatever your herd size. Whilst the subject matter will largely focus on cows, the principles, techniques and remedies apply to all farm animals such as sheep and horses.

Pat Aherne is a commercial dairy farmer who uses homoeopathic principals in the day to day running of his farm. He completed his first course in November 2017 and since then has continued learning with Whole Health Agriculture whilst administering remedies under veterinary supervision. Pat, Ireland’s national Representative for Whole Health Agriculture is a champion of homoeopathy and a passionate convert to this evidence based approach to animal and human health and well being. Over the years Pat has focused more on herd fertility from an emotional and psychological perspective, which in turn is yielding very profitable results.

Tom Farringtion, a retired Homoeopathic Vet of 40 years , is widely recognised as a subject matter expert in this area. With four decades of hands-on experience in both conventional veterinary care and revolutionary homoeopathic medicine for animals and humans, he champions an all-encompassing approach to patient well-being. His work embodies the essence of holistic care, where science meets intuition.
