Thanks to those of you who joined us for our bi-monthly “Protecting Your Profits” webinar on Friday! With so much talk about risk management on the financial level, it’s important to remember that proper
animal care can be a form of risk management as well. Dr. Jody Kull from Penn State University shared how dairy farmers can use their farm’s specific protocols not just as a once-a-year way to check a box, but how to develop them to prepare for anything that might happen throughout the year. She explained how dairy farmers can use these protocols to mitigate on-farm risks and seasonal concerns such as mastitis, pneumonia and metabolic issues. She also shared real-life examples from farms who have developed their own protocols to successfully treat and navigate illnesses within their herds.
During the webinar, Dr. Kull covered:
- How dairy farmers can use their protocols
- How to identify clinical signs of illnesses
- What monitoring looks like on the farm
- How to address concerns, illnesses, and diseases before they happen
The recording is available in multiple formats:
