Dairy data for dummies

Abstract

Utilizing data and records generated on dairy farms is an essen­tial part of modern dairy practice. Many young veterinarians have been exposed to basic records analysis, but may still lack some skills that improve their ability to add value for clients. Learning these skills requires a dedicated effort, and there are many resources available to the young practitioner. This pre­sentation aims to outline a process by which young practitio­ners can improve their skills with some of the most commonly used data analysis tools.
