Dairy Services
Livestock Matters has a wealth of experience in helping farmers to manage dairy herds: mastitis, poor fertility and lameness can be a worry. Advice is also available on the more general problems of nutrition and herd health.
Fertility
Most dairies use some form of pregnancy diagnosis, whether by lay scanner or veterinary surgeon. All too often this information is not fully utilised. Poor fertility may be due to problems with
- Ovarian function
- Uterine health
- Heat detection
- Service (AI or natural service)
- Early embryonic loss
- Abortion
Livestock Matters can help by assessing
- PD/routine visit records
- Milk recording information
- Cow performance and health status
- Laboratory results – bulk milk tests, abortion investigation etc
- AI technique
- Bull soundness and fertility
Rather than simply recording poor fertility why not ask Livestock Matters to help you put things right?
