Manuel Fernández Sánchez

Graduated in veterinary medicine from the University of Zaragoza.
His career, which spans twenty years, has always been connected with the world of ruminants, from his first contact with practice in Bristol, Belgium and Scotland to his current position as a freelance veterinary consultant (founder of Consuvet).
Of particular note is his work at ANGRA (the Spanish National Association of Rasa Aragonesa Pedigree Breeders), on the development of programmes for genetic improvement and reproduction in mutton sheep, and his work in Asturias on reproduction monitoring and the quality of cow’s milk. He has also participated as a speaker on various courses organised by the University of Santiago de Compostela.
This professional experience in multiple areas of business, together with his practice at the free veterinary clinic and work with reproduction monitoring and nutrition in dairy cattle, have provided him with a broad view of the needs of the veterinary surgeon when faced with reproductive problems.
