The three-day program was packed with engaging lectures and discussions covering a wide range of topics. In addition to exploring the historical and practical applications of herbal remedies, attendees examined key aspects such as legislation, registration, and risk assessment, as well as strategies for sustainable production and use.

A particular highlight was the hands-on workshop on quality assessment of raw plant materials, where participants got first-hand experience with pharmacopeial evaluation processes.
Beyond the educational content, the training school fostered an exceptional environment for networking and collaboration. Participants connected with like-minded peers, exchanged insights, and laid the foundation for a dynamic scientific community in the field of veterinary herbal medicine.

With this successful launch, MP4V has taken an important step towards advancing research and application in herbal veterinary medicine. We look forward to our next online learning modules and training courses!
