New Podcast from CCE Dairy Educators and PRO-DAIRY, “Troubleshooting Herd Health Issues on Your Dairy”
This podcast is a series about troubleshooting herd health issues on dairy farms. It features PRO-DAIRY and CCE Dairy Specialists who over the course of fourteen episodes will discuss specific areas to look at when experiencing issues in different life stages of the dairy cow. Episodes focus on pre-weaned calves, transition through weaning, heifer phase, calving pen issues, metabolic disorders of the transition cow, specific fresh cow issues, lactating cow issues from mastitis, issues with reproduction, production, feeding behavior and facilities, hoof health and lameness, and problems during the dry period. Some episodes feature guest speakers and case studies, and are released each week on Mondays, since November 30. Look for a new episode each week on the PRO-DAIRY website (https://prodairy.cals.cornell.edu/events/podcasts/) where you can find each episode along with additional resources and speaker contact information. You can also listen via SoundCloud on the CCE Dairy Educators channel (https://soundcloud.com/user-301921459-118136586/sets/troubleshooting-herd-health), and check back for future podcast series.
