“Why do protocols fail? Setting up on-farm processes for success” – set for Aug. 21, at 2 p.m. Central time (U.S./Canada). Marisol Orellana, Diamond V calf and heifer field product specialist, will lead this free, one-hour educational offering.
During this webinar, Orellana will help participants understand why calf protocols fail and how to build systems that ensure long-term adoption and success. Also, participants will discover how a strong farm culture, clear communications and practical tools can drive team buy-in and consistent protocol adherence. Learn how to measure and sustain effective on-farm processes that lead to stronger calf programs through real-world examples and actionable insights.
Orellana is a dairy specialist with a strong foundation in young animal nutrition and calf management. Originally from Honduras, her passion for dairy began on her family’s farm, where she was involved in all aspects of milk production and processing. Orellana earned her bachelor’s degree in agricultural science from the Universidad Nacional de Agricultura in Honduras, followed by a master’s degree in dairy science from Louisiana State University and a PhD in animal and dairy science from the University of Georgia.
