Assessing the herd
Assessing the herd
Transition cow management has been one of the most significant advances in dairy nutrition and production worldwide in the last 20 years. Transition feeding programs provide farmers with a major opportunity to improve cow health, milk production and reproductive performance.
Many Australian dairy farmers have implemented successful transition feeding programs pre-calving and reported dramatic reductions in milk fever and other cow health problems around calving, and improvements in milk production and fertility.
But many other farmers haven't yet got on board. Dairy Australia's Transition Cow Management (Online) program supports the adoption of effective transition cow management programs across the Australian dairy industry.
The 4-week online course provides people with the opportunity to explore their practice in assessing herd health, determining the most appropriate feeding approaches for different farming systems, and creating their own plan for transition feeding.
