The Irish Farmers Journal is offering farmers the opportunity to have their blood pressure checked, receive exercise and lifestyle advice, a completed personal record card and educational materials while nurses will be on hand to answer any questions from farmers about their health.
Nurses from Croí will visit Roscommon Mart on Wednesday, the 20th of November to offer free health checks and advice for farmers. This will also be available within marts in Kerry, Mayo, Cavan, Clare and Donegal.
This is part of the Irish Farmers Journal mart demo series ‘Health, housing, breeding and feeding – getting it right this winter’. The nurses will be available to carry out the consultations from 5-7 pm at each event.
With housing taking place on many farms over the last few weeks this month’s mart demo series aims to update farmers with key points around winter management and making sure that all targets are met with stock on farms over the next few months. There will also be talks provided about health and housing for animals, feeding and breeding.
