Herd Health Management in a Central Alberta Practice

Abstract

At the end of each year or as it works out, most often prior to a seminar that we have to give, we try to correlate all the information on reproductive performance in these particular herds and the dairymen like to know where they stock up in these particular categories in relation to the rest of the dairymen in the area. So what we do is compile all the information on first service conception, calving interval, percent of cows in heat 60 days post-calving and percent of the herd called for reproductive reasons.
