May 2023 Farm Newsletter
This May 2023 edition covers farm management topics including upcoming training courses (foot trimming, calf rearing, calving), left displaced abomasum (LDA) in cows, considerations for grazing cattle to reduce mastitis and high SCC, and Neospora, a cause of abortion in cattle.
- The newsletter discusses LDA, a condition that can occur in cows during the transition period from pre-calving to post-calving. It details symptoms, risk factors, and treatment options.
- Robert Powell also highlights the importance of aftercare for cows with LDA.
- Bibby Thomas discusses how turning out cattle to graze can increase the risk of mastitis and high SCC, and offers preventative measures to reduce this risk.
