Abstract

This paper presents practical guidelines for replacement rearing, udder health and milk quality, reproduction and nutrition. These guidelines should expedite:
- cooperation with the dairyman in identifying his / her objectives;
- establishing guidelines for reaching these objectives;
- evaluating and analyzing animal and farm data in relation to these objectives.
The ultimate objective of a H H and PC program is to improve farm income by utilizing highly technical skills, advising, evaluating and analyzing actual and accurate records and to implement these programs in a cost-effective way.
