The Vlaamse Buiatrie Vereniging and IE-NET Ingenieursvereniging are convinced that veterinarians and engineers working in cattle farming, have common interests and concerns. We believe that both groups will benefit from an exchange of knowledge which can lead to new insights and improvements for the cattle sector in the coming years.That is why we are organizing a first joint initiative for cattle veterinarians as well as engineers and scientists in both sectors.
