Article Synopsis
- Over the past two decades, fewer veterinary and animal science students in Australia and New Zealand have experience with livestock production, prompting a need for new educational methods.
- The 4D Virtual Farm was developed to allow students to explore 11 different types of livestock farms across Australasia through digital technology, simulating seasonal operations.
- This platform can be accessed via various devices, and serves as a versatile educational tool for instructors to demonstrate production systems and facilitate self-directed learning for students.
Cryptosporidium is an enteric parasite of public health significance that causes diarrhoeal illness through faecal oral contamination and via water. Zoonotic transmission is difficult to determine as most species of Cryptosporidium are morphologically identical and can only be differentiated by molecular means. Transmission dynamics of Cryptosporidium in rural populations were investigated through the collection of 196 faecal samples from diarrheic (scouring) calves on 20 farms and 63 faecal samples from humans on 14 of these farms.
