The DCRC webinar will expand on three key take-home messages.
• Data integration is crucial to evaluate aspects of dairy farms, including the multiple factors that occur in early life that impact future performance.
• There are long-term negative effects of bovine respiratory disease on future growth, reproductive success and survivability.
• Season born, dam’s parity and pre-weaning milk consumption all influence a calf’s future performance.
