Abstract

Most dairy farmers are faced with financial obligations that require maximized production schemes to reach the level of profit to pay these obligations. Culling without herd health control is usually done by culling disease problem cows first:
The others would be-
1. Mastitis
2. Non-breeders
3. Disease
4. Injury
5. Low Production
6. Temperament
7. Dairy Purposes
Farmers don't profit from visits from veterinarians to treat many of the above problems.
