Vidzemes Veterinārais serviss: Healthy Calves, Stronger Cows: Detect sickness Before It Shows

Healthy calves are tomorrow's high-performance dairy cows. Pneumonia, diarrhea, and slow growth at an early age do not change a calf's genetics, but they can reduce how much of its genetic potential is actually realized.

Programme

Healthy calves are tomorrow’s high-performance dairy cows. Pneumonia, diarrhea, and slow growth at an early age do not change a calf’s genetics, but they can reduce how much of its genetic potential is actually realized.

Learn to spot problems early – even before visible symptoms of disease appear.

In the seminar, we will discuss:

How activity data helps detect early signs of illness in calves
How lung ultrasound helps detect pneumonia early and direct treatment more precisely
Why pneumonia and diarrhea can slow growth and reduce future milk production, fertility, and productive lifespan
How hygiene, ventilation, colostrum, feeding, and consistent monitoring help preserve the future potential of Holstein calves
How calf health data helps improve daily herd management and increase animal resilience through breeding

Lecturer: Viesturs Masinskis, CowManager specialist

The seminar is in English, with Estonian translation.

Target audience for the seminar: Dairy farmers, specialists responsible for calves and herds, veterinarians, advisors, and breeders.
