Herd health

It is widely accepted that optimal dairy cow nutrition is a crucial factor in achieving fertility targets.

Infectious diseases such as BVD, Leptospirosis and Johnes disease can have a significant impact on herd fertility. Information from bulk milk samples followed by appropriate vaccination strategies can control these diseases.

The reduction of metabolic disease in the early post partum period is central to reducing fertility problems. Issues such as endometritis, laminitis, retained placenta and ketosis all have significant adverse effects on fertility performance.
