How to recognise
Improper management and unbalanced diets at the beginning of lactation cause alterations in the cow’s metabolic state that directly affect follicular growth and embryonic development. This is translated into poor fertility, low production, a high impact of metabolic diseases and increased involuntary culling rates.
The impact on the farmer
Understanding and supporting the cow’s transition to a successful lactation means preventing negative energy balance but also ensuring healthy diets that improve conception rates and support productive performance.
