The vagaries of last year’s weather means we are seeing significant issues already this autumn with nutrition;

1. We have already seen deaths from straw impaction - rumen bugs cannot live on straw alone they need protein to survive &

2. We are seeing significant trace element/mineral shortages which will impact calf & lamb viability through to and after birth.

ANIMAL FEED IS A FARMS BIGGEST COST & IT HAS THE GREATEST IMPACT ON DISEASE 🦠
From still births in neonates through pneumonia in fattening & rearing stock to prolapses & sick cows.

IGNORE ITS IMPORTANCE AT YOUR PERIL.

Molly has been away lecturing in Estonia for a couple of days at an international conference and as ever she found it both an honour and an opportunity to see what the rest of the world are doing and learn new techniques -
There is plenty of new research about many things that affect us every day. Did you know that;
It is probably as low as 5% the cases of pneumonia that can be picked up with a stethoscope & the Wisconsin or California scale is not much better?
However in addition to the in house Micron machine for worm 🪱 egg counts, coccidia counts & fluke egg counts, the bull fertility app we have for counting spermatozoa and the inhouse scour testing we hope to be offering a new technique for allowing us to routinely monitor pneumonia in calves to see lesions before clinical signs appear, be able to differentiate viral from bacterial lesions and to tailor treatments and their length to the individual calf. Now that is going to be a major step forward to reducing disease and increasing productivity!
