The Books Help Dairy Farms Comply with National FARM 5.0 Requirements
As you look at your dairy’s protocols this fall, remember that you can request a free copy of our animal care record-keeping books for your operation! With more than 7,100 books distributed to date, they have helped other producers establish a good system for managing animal care efforts and protocols. The
New addition: The books now include space to write down your calf protocols in the fitness to transport section.
Whether you’re a dairy farmer who wants a book for your own farm, or you are a service professional or veterinarian who works directly with dairy producers, the record-keeping books make it easier for farms to manage their records and comply with the guidelines outlined in the National FARM Program (Version 5.0). One book should cover three program years for a smaller-sized herd.
Dairy producers can order copies directly for their farm, and veterinarians can order free copies of the books for their dairy clients. Click here to request a free copy of the book to be mailed to you or call the Center at 717-346-0849.
The record-keeping books were compiled by the Center for Dairy Excellence using resources from the National FARM Program, AllTech, the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, Mid-Maryland Dairy Veterinarians, and Valley Mobile Veterinary Services.
