Garlic-based fly control isn’t new, but consistent delivery has been the limiting factor. North American research shows mixed results, raising a different question: Is the issue the compound or how it’s delivered?
RT-PCR testing is showing up more often on dairies because it can find mastitis pathogens faster and more accurately than traditional culture. Understanding the process and results can help you make better decisions on farm.
Subclinical pneumonia is quietly driving treatment costs and long-term performance losses, but thoracic ultrasound is giving veterinarians a way to finally see it.
Emerging research suggests milk fever may be less about calcium deficiency and more about how inflammation and metabolism interact during the transition period.
A large Holstein dataset confirms bovine spastic syndrome is moderately heritable and highlights genetic markers that could help producers reduce risk through breeding.
Open cows and poor conception rates often trace back to a single source in the bull pasture. Without consistent testing, one carrier can disrupt an entire breeding season.
New research suggests bovine coronavirus is not just spreading nose-to-nose but through the air calves share, adding urgency to ventilation and housing design decisions.
From gestation through the first weeks of life, small decisions build toward better calf health. Focusing on key risk points at each stage can improve survival and long-term performance.
