Using today’s technology for better udder health care.
Good udder health care on dairy farms is crucial not only for maintaining good standards of cow welfare, but also for the prevention of mastitis. Sean Riches, Product & Solutions Manager at Vetoquinol, discusses how producers and their vets can better monitor udder health by utilising today’s technology and making use of the key metrics and data available to them.
Making good use of data to optimise Transition Cow Management (TCM)
Ketosis is the most common metabolic disease of dairy cattle in the first 6-8 weeks of lactation. Vetoquinol’s Farm Animal Business Manager, Nicole Baldry, discusses how accurate monitoring of the cow in transition allows vets and producers to gain a deeper understanding of their herd and make data driven decisions.
Capture services, advice and accurate billing with seamless on-farm data recording
A concern for both vet and farmer client is ensuring accurate records are provided to cover what has been discussed, dispensed and detailed during a farm visit.
Forging working relationships across the practice to deliver standards of care.
Continuity of care is a well-understood phrase in the vet world, and it plays an important part in both clinical governance and client experience. Using VetIMPRESS supports continuity of care as it enables consistent communication across the practice team about what is going on with individual farms or animals.
Harnessing data for better hoof health
Hoof health management in dairy cows has seen considerable development in recent years. The UK Dairy Cattle Welfare Strategy (UDCWS) ensures it remains a key focus for optimising hoof health, and crucial for a fit-for-purpose plan is good data.
