How technology advances can help battle ketosis

April 17, 2015
Suresh Raja Neethirajan
Ask any dairy farmer what type of issues they face in today’s industry, and the conversation undoubtedly will move toward money. With most farmers facing decreasing profit margins and some barely hanging on due to increased cost and a stagnant revenue stream, good farmers are always on the lookout for ways to better manage their bottom line.

Make educated choice on transition cows’ calcium delivery

February 24, 2015
Terry Arver
The administration of supplemental calcium to combat subclinical hypocalcemia in transition cows is a growing practice in the dairy industry. However, most producers may not be aware of the specific details behind many of the new supplemental calcium products now available.

The transition cow: Intervention or interference?

November 6, 2014
Martha Baker
The route from the dry pen to the lactating pen is a very important stage in a cow’s life. Fresh cows set the pace for the entire herd, and the first 60 days post-calving define a cow’s lactation.

Cow fertility linked to transition period health

October 17, 2014
Klibs N. Galvao
Calving and the subsequent transition into lactation are the greatest challenges in the productive life of a dairy cow.

Study shows value and ease of monitoring subclinical ketosis

October 10, 2013
John Brantsen and Kevin Casperson
We’ve heard a lot of buzz over the last couple years about subclinical ketosis in fresh cows, different methods for testing and how subclinical ketosis affects cows. In the spring of 2012, we started an on-farm survey to determine the level of subclinical ketosis present in several Upper Midwest herds using Abbott’s Precision Xtra blood meter.

Gauging success in transition programs

November 19, 2012
Gerald Mechor
Wouldn’t it be nice to have that gauge to determine how successful our transition cow program is at present? If we wait to see measurable “wreck” clinical outcomes such as milk fever, retained placenta, metritis, ketosis and displacements of the abomasums, we are late to the realization of a transition program going astray.
