Over the past five years, reproductive efficiency and the genetic component on dairy farms have significantly improved. Most farms are investing in high-quality semen, laying the foundation for a high genetic potential herd.
However, these achievements are often negated by the high incidence of calf diseases (diarrhea and bronchopneumonia) within the first two months after birth, which results in some calves dying or being culled. The costs of raising replacement heifers (which account for about 20% of the cost of milk production) can turn from an investment into a financial loss.
What can be done about this?
We will look for answers together during the working panel "Herd Health Starts with Calves" as part of the veterinary section of the XVII International Dairy Congress.
You will receive practical tools to assess the state of your own farm and will analyze:
Are you achieving your target indicators?
How to preserve calf health?
How to ensure that investments in #youngstock work to develop the farm?
When? October 17-18 Registration: 0674705563, https://bit.ly/4ltJiq8
