There’s a lot of talk about risk management on the financial level, but proper animal care can be a form of risk management as well. Join us on Friday, July 11 at 12 p.m. EST for our July “Protecting Your Profits” webinar titled “Healthy Herds & Happy Cows: Risk Mitigation for Your Dairy.” Dr. Jody Kull will share how dairy farmers can use their FARM protocols not just as a once-a-year way to check a box, but how to develop them to prepare for anything that might happen throughout the year. She’ll explain how dairy farmers can use these FARM protocols to mitigate on-farm risks and seasonal concerns such as mastitis, pneumonia and metabolic issues – and she’ll share real-life examples from farms who have developed their own protocols to successfully treat and navigate illnesses within their herds.
During the webinar, Dr. Kull will cover:
- How dairy farmers can use their protocols
- How to identify clinical signs of illnesses
- What monitoring looks like on the farm
- How to address concerns, illnesses, and diseases before they happen
You can join via conference call, webinar, or podcast format. Your choice! A recording will be shared after the event.
