National survey reveals major lack of workable fertility goals

摘要

With larger herds and less staff, cow fertility still remains one of the biggest challenges on most farms as the MSD Animal Health national fertility survey reveals. Managing and optimising dairy cow fertility remains one of the most significant challenges for today's dairy farmer. Poor fertility is still the number one reason for culling and fertility performance, in general, showing little sign of improvement. Widely acknowledged facts such as these have been confirmed in the findings from the third annual fertility survey, organised by Dairy Farmer in conjunction with MSD Animal Health, manufacturers of Metricure.
