Jakob Malmo Bovine Practitioner Award

The Jakob Malmo Bovine Practitioner Award celebrates the exceptional contributions of an ACV member to cattle veterinary practice. This award provides a unique opportunity to recognize an ACV member who has made a significant impact on the profession, industry, and community.

We are seeking nominations for those who embody the true spirit of cattle veterinary practice, whether they are quiet achievers or high-profile leaders. Our focus is on sustainability within Australian cattle veterinary practice and on members who have consistently supported their peers.
