Phibro Animal Health Corporation announces the launch of its new podcast series, “You Herd Right,” available now from the Apple Store, Google Podcasts, Spotify and other popular podcast platforms. 

A lot of planning goes into preparing cows for a successful lactation and feeding and management decisions are paramount to an operation’s success. The “You Herd Right” podcast series is hosted by Ken Zanzalari, Ph.D., Dipl. ACAN, Product Director, Phibro Animal Health Corporation, and opens by exploring areas of transition cow feeding and management in order to best prepare dairy cows for a successful lactation. Veterinarians, nutritionists, farm managers and herdspeople alike can gain insights to help improve the success of their dairy operation.

“We created the ‘You Herd Right’ podcast as a way of not only communicating our recommendations for feeding and managing transition cows but also as a way to bring the industry updates on research, exchange best practices and offer alternative strategies to consider,” Zanzalari explains.
