Rob spotted internal temperatures quickly reach 29.7 degrees when the fans were left switched off after bedding up. With temperatures forecast to stay high over the next few days, fans are running flat out to keep cows cool. Water and shade provision is just as important, whether cows are inside or out! ☀️
Already for a day at Newport Show!
Come and say hello! 👋 stand T10
Nige and Bill have done quality control on our Lucky Cow bar 👍

Muck samples
The useful time to get a baseline faecal egg count is 4-6 weeks post-turnout, so it's a good time to start thinking about getting some samples to us!

Flies
We definitely haven’t seen any dry weather yet, but with longer days and warmer temperatures, the flies are out in force! 🌦️🪰
Speak to your vet or tech to make sure you’ve got a control plan in place for the coming season.

Bacteria
Did you know - alongside bacteria and fungi, there are up to 1 million protozoa in every ml of rumen fluid! They can be seen swimming under the microscope in this sample of rumen fluid taken on-farm this week.
A healthy rumen microbiome is essential for a healthy cow, as if it becomes unbalanced it may result in rumen acidosis. This may be seen as unexplained diarrhoea, a decrease in body condition, and reduced milk yield among other signs. If you're worried about acidosis in your cattle get in contact with us today!

2023 over and out! 👋

Calf ImmunIGY test
Whitchurch Vet Laura Chesters has been trialling the calf ImmunIGY test on farm this week. The pen-side lateral flow test uses blood from a nose prick to assess passive transfer in calves, giving results in just a few minutes!
Successful passive transfer indicates good colostrum absorption, and is associated with decreased mortality, increased growth rates and feed conversion, and an overall greater productive capacity. It’s a key driver of efficiency in calf rearing. This new test provides another tool in the arsenal for monitoring effective colostrum feeding, especially in older calves where monitoring blood total protein is less accurate.
