For dairy farmers aiming for optimal milk production, managing the days in milk (DIM) is crucial. DIM refers to the period after calving during which a cow produces milk. The target for an all-year-round calving herd is to maintain an average of 180 days in milk
In today’s changing environment, cows can play a vital role in maintaining balance and sustainability. Biodiversity is key to a healthy ecosystem, and rather than eliminating dairy cattle, we must focus on sustainable practices like planting more trees to mitigate environmental challenges
Cows experience several critical periods that require focused care and management to maintain their health and productivity. Proper planning during these stages minimizes risks and maximizes output.
Anaplasmosis is a significant infectious disease in cattle, impacting herds across tropical and subtropical regions. This condition, caused by the bacterium Anaplasma marginale, can lead to severe anemia, reduced productivity, and economic losses if not managed promptly.
Molasses, a popular feed supplement for livestock, is widely used due to its numerous benefits, including improving feed palatability, increasing energy intake, and promoting better nutrient absorption. However, like all feed additives, it has its potential drawbacks, one of which includes its impact on dental health
Black Quarter (BQ), also known as Blackleg, is one of the most devastating diseases that can affect cattle. Caused by the bacterium Clostridium chauvoei, this disease is often fatal and requires immediate attention. Understanding its causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment is essential for cattle farmers to protect their herds.
Cows cannot develop food poisoning in the same way that humans do. Food poisoning in humans is typically caused by consuming food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or toxins. However, cows have a complex digestive system that is adapted to process a variety of plant-based materials, including potentially harmful substances.
When calves fall sick or fail to thrive, many farmers immediately suspect calcium deficiency. While calcium is vital for growth and skeletal health, it’s rarely the root cause of mortality in young calves. Instead, the problem often lies in management practices, nutrition, or underlying diseases that weaken the calves before calcium deficiency even becomes a concern.
While genetics are important, they’re just one part of the equation in achieving high milk production. A cow’s potential is maximized not only by its genetic makeup but also through proper nutrition, health management, and environmental care. Dairyverse offers a suite of products under the "Restore" category that supports cows through every stage of growth, from calves to lactating adults, to optimize production.
The California Mastitis Test is an invaluable tool for dairy farmers to detect mastitis early and maintain herd health. Regular testing, combined with proper hygiene and management, can significantly reduce mastitis cases, improving milk quality and boosting farm profitability. By integrating the CMT method into your herd management routine, you ensure healthier cows and a more productive dairy operation.
