animals. Everything is different from the way you draw
blood to the way you x-ray,” said Dr. Stanglmeir. “In my
experience, you really need someone with Large Animal
experience and knowledge, so they can immediately start
working and there is less on-the-job training required.”
Dr. Bernd Stanglmeier
