In our lab’s first JDS Communications paper, Dr. Kathryn Bach analyzed the question “Is blood calcium a prognostic indicator of a cow’s post-surgical LDA success?”. With the help of 9 bovine veterinarians from New York state (all women), we collected blood samples at the time of left displaced abomasum diagnosis and correction and analyzed their subsequent milk production and herd removal risk.

While our first JDS Communications paper is exciting, it is also the last of Dr. Bach’s research as a member of the McArt Dairy Cow Lab. She is already on to bigger and brighter things as you can see here!
