🐮Are your calves hitting their growth targets?

Measuring Daily Live Weight Gain (DLWG) is one of the best ways to assess how well your calf rearing programme is performing.
Growth rates provide an objective measure of nutrition, health, housing and overall management, helping you identify issues before they affect future performance.

Regular weighing or weigh-tape measurements can help answer key questions:
✅Are calves getting enough milk and starter feed?
✅ Is disease impacting performance before clinical signs become obvious?
✅ Are calves on track to meet weaning and breeding targets?
✅ Is your investment in calf health delivering results?

Small improvements in early-life growth can have a big impact on future productivity and profitability.

📞speak to your vet about incorporating DLWG into your herd📞

🐮PD cows early this winter 🐮

A suckler cow should produce one calf per year. The costs of running an empty suckler cow will vary from farm to farm but currently it is estimated on average to cost £3/day.

Bluetongue infections can result in empty cows and infertility in bulls.
We know Bluetongue was circulating in the area over the past few months, and we have seen cases where animals have tested positive without symptoms.
Many of you will be bringing cows in over the next few weeks, we recommend scanning cows early if you can.

🐄Johnes Testing for Dairies 🐄

Earlier this year the National Johnes Management Plan has entered its third phase.
Key changes for Phase 3 include:

🐮All herds must obtain an Average Test Value (ATV) for their herd to help assess the level of disease present and allow progress to be tracked over time
🐮The minimum requirement to generate an ATV will be a 60 cow random screen.

❗️The 30 cow targeted screen is no longer an acceptable option ❗️

If you haven’t carried out any Johnes testing this year please try and get this done and your declaration signed as soon as possible.
This needs to be sent to your milk buyer by the end of the year.
