The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) is hosting a webinar today so that farmers can learn more about why good rumen development is key to weaning transition and how to achieve optimum calf health on your farm.
The webinar will be from 1:30pm to 3pm SAST. Register at the link below to get a copy of the recording.
Changes in diet, environment and social grouping can make weaning a stressful time for a calf. Get the transition period right and you secure your calf’s growth, health and welfare, and reduce stress during this critical time.
You’ll hear from Ginny Sherwin, Clinical Assistant Professor in Farm Animal Medicine at the University of Nottingham, who is a RCVS and European Recognised Specialist in Bovine Health Management.
