MANAGING HERD HEALTH IS VITAL

摘要

Good management is vital at Simon Frost's focus farm to maximise cow and calf health. When animals are stressed, their immune system is less effective leading to an increased risk of health problems. And with weaning potentially one of the most stressful times in a calf s life brought about by a change in diet, housing and separation from its dam, Mr Frost takes extra care to ensure stress is kept to a minimum and growth rates are maintained.
