“We are really excited to partner up with MSD Animal Health and XL Vets once again for this great initiative. Last year, was the first time that anything like this was done on Snapchat. We gave people a chance to see what a large-animal vet’s day consisted of. This year, we have extended the campaign by an additional day and we have also added more diversity.” Shane Ganley, General Manager of That’s Farming said.
"The aim is to get exposure for Veterinary Practitioners. We are going to have different content, more technical content which farmers will be able to learn from," said William Minchin of MSD Animal Health.
"We have a much wider spectrum in terms of demographics; we have a nice mixture of age and experience. We have experienced and younger vets, both male and female", William added.
“The campaign generated a huge level of interest that stretched far beyond the core target audience of new and aspiring veterinarians. While we will shortly be recruiting for the 2018/19 Veterinary Graduate Programme we are also going to use the initiative as a launch pad for XLVets Skillnet Agri-Academy; a new online training platform for providing herd and flock health management skill with a 1st module on the management of anti-microbial resistance currently being devised .” Geoff Dooley, CEO of XL Vets said.
