Kursinnehåll

Conditional drug use means an opportunity to have certain drugs in the herd and, after agreement with your veterinarian, treat certain specific diagnoses. Everyone who carries out drug treatments in a pig herd must, with approved results, have completed a training course in conditional drug use for pigs.

The training concerns, among other things, the following topics:

• What conditional drug use is and which laws and regulations apply

• Storage and handling of medicines and what risks exist

• Different types of medicines and how they work in the pig

• How to detect and treat sick pigs

• Common diseases in pigs and preventive animal health care

• Killing

This is the course package for 2026 and once you have signed up, you have access to all materials until December 31, 2026.

In order to obtain a certificate that you have successfully completed the entire course in conditional drug use, all parts of the course must be completed no later than two years after the degree test. This means that the self-studies and the degree test must be done in the year you bought the ViLA course and then you have two years to do the practical part from the date you wrote your degree test.

 

Gård & Djurhälsan’s course package in conditional drug use can be purchased for one year at a time. No matter when in the year you buy your course, you have access to the material until December 31, 2026.

 

It is fine to download pdf files to have access to the knowledge for a longer period of time, these may be used for individual use and not spread further.

 

In order to complete the course and thus be entitled to a certificate that you have successfully completed Gård & Djurhälsan’s course in conditional drug use, one must:

 

• Have seen all the course’s SELF-STUDY lectures and done associated exercises

 

• Read in the course booklet (don’t forget to download pdf) if you wish, we can print the course material and send it to you for a cost of SEK 250 excluding VAT.

 

• Passed the theoretical test

 

• Had a practical test with a veterinarian in your own herd (book separately, read more further down the page)

 

Time to write a test The theoretical course part in ViLA Gris ends with an exam that you need to pass before you can pass the practical part. Links to the exams are in your course room. These are open on the date and time indicated. Click on the link and then click on the ”Go to team meeting” button and you will be taken to the test. Be sure to fill in your contact details before writing the exam.

 

We offer time for exam/degree:

Wednesday, April 29 between 10.00 – 12.00
Thursday, May 28 between 10.00 – 12.00
Thursday, June 25 between 10.00 – 12.00

Thursday, November 26 between 10.00 – 12.00
Friday, December 18 between 10.00 – 12.00

After December 31st, you no longer have access to the lectures or exams but have two years to complete the course with the practical certificate. That is, until 31 December 2 years after completion of the course year. If you have not completed the course within that time, you must purchase a new course in order to obtain a certificate that you have successfully completed a course in conditional drug use.

 

The practical review is primarily carried out by one of Gård & Animal Health’s veterinarians. For customers who have an agreement on conditional drug use with Gård & Djurhälsan, the practical exam is included in the course fee. For other course participants, an hourly rate is added. For customers who have an agreement on conditional drug use with another veterinarian, and where Gård & Djurhälsan does not have the opportunity to carry out the practical review for any reason, this can be carried out by the crew’s own veterinarian. This is agreed in each individual case and the cost of a practical exam is then agreed with the own crew veterinarian.

 

Of course, it is also possible to complete the course and get your course certificate during the current course year.

 

When all parts are completed, you will receive a course certificate that is placed in your course room. The course certificate only applies to the pig species.
