Fertility
Fertility is at the very core of dairy farming and it has been well documented that raising your pregnancy rate directly increases profitability.
We can work at farm level to implement easy to follow protocols for all staff members that will improve fertility results.
Mastitis
Mastitis has both direct and indirect implications in a herd.
The initial cost is treatment, loss of waste milk and potentially a lost cow. The long term issues are lower yield and potential for culling later in the lactation.
We can work with the milking staff on parlour routine, bedding management and treatment protocols.
Lameness
Lameness is the common denominator of a dairy cow's health and wellbeing if left unchecked and can result in premature culling.
We can work on a whole herd approach to tackle lameness by mobility scoring, timely hoof trimming and proper cow handling.
Antibiotic use is coming under the spotlight more regularly from government agencies and milk buyers.
We have several methods to reduce antibiotic usage, including cow handling and staff training.
All recommendations should be used in conjunction with veterinary advice.
Keeping morale high in your team can be a difficult task. Training can give a new outlook on their work and how they complete it.
We offer staff training for all levels, from cow handling, parlour training, managing staff to annual staff appraisals.
We offer a staff mentoring programme which can be tailored to your needs.
