Outcome: Initial Outcome
The senior students at Central High School's veterinary technology program had a chance to get hands-on experience with livestock. During this time, they learned proper animal care and injection sites on baby goats. The vaccinations given to the baby goats were CDT and BOSE, which are two important medications the goats would need.
For this program, students were able to administer injections on livestock for the first time. They were all very nervous, but their teacher was confident. Emily Clement mentioned that the mood of the students had shifted with the presence of real subjects to practice with, but she felt they were ready.
The reason for doing this was so that the students could get hours toward completing their certifications. At the same time of administering injections, the class took weights and completed charts on each baby goat.
One student said, "I was so nervous to do injections, but I'm happy it's over. Now we can cuddle with the goats, and I don't want to leave Ms. Clement's class for the rest of the day."
