Herd Health

The numbers don’t lie – mastitis infections in dairy herds are one of the most financially detrimental occurrences that a producer can face.

Fresh cows present one of the biggest opportunities for increased performance on dairy farms. However, fresh cows deal with many stressors and challenges – and if they are not properly set up for success, they will not be able to achieve an optimal level of production.

Pinkeye (infectious keratoconjunctivitis) is the most common ocular disease of cattle, affecting one or both eyes. Infection lasts several days to weeks and can affect cattle of any age, but younger age groups are more commonly affected.

A case of ketosis comes with a cost, but it is possible to manage this metabolic disease to minimize its impact on dairy herds.

Milking with single-box automated (robotic) milking systems (AMS) has revolutionized the way we can manage and milk dairy cows. Adoption of this technology continues at an exponential rate here in North America.

It requires more than just energy to achieve peak performance and overall health of your milking herd. Vitamins are organic compounds required in small quantities and essential for the maintenance of life.
