Post Calving Management
Careful monitoring of the performance and health of freshly calved cows will help to achieve expected lactation yields. Particular attention should be paid to cows who are “at risk” of having problems post calving. Monitoring their health and providing early treatment where necessary will improve whole herd performance.
This insight covers:
- Knock-on effects post calving
- Routine checks
- Rumen fill scoring
Issued December 2018.
