Microbes, Immunity & Calf Health: Helping Calves Win the War You Can’t See

Dairy Calf & Heifer Association

Calves face a constant and complex battle within—their immune systems working hard to defend against a wide range of microbial threats from day one. In this webinar, we’ll explore the dynamic interactions between immunity and pathogens in young calves, focusing on how these relationships shape health outcomes and developing strategies to support immunity, reduce disease risk, and give calves the best possible start.

“Microbes, Immunity & Calf Health: Helping Calves Win the War You Can’t See” is the title of the next webinar in the DCHA webinar series. Join Dr. Leonardo Bringhenti from AHV International as he leads this free, one-hour webinar, which starts at 2 p.m. Central time (Chicago time).
