In total, more than 40 veterinarians from all over Europe attended the courses, to learn about the latest updates in coccidia control, broaden their knowledge on the impact of coccidiosis on intestinal health and strategies to prevent the disease through vaccination.

The participants also had the opportunity to attend two practical demonstrations of vaccination techniques, one via spray and the other in-ovo, by Marc Pulido (Digital Health Product Business Developer at HIPRA) and Sergio Mesa (Global Product Manager at HIPRA). 

As part of the course, attendees visited HIPRA’s production facilities, they saw firsthand how scientific knowledge translates into real-life technological application. 

The event concluded with the distribution of diplomas to the HIPRA University participants to certify their active participation in course.
