Enhancing cow health and fertility

The high-yielding dairy cow is intended to produce a substantial volume of milk every year and, at the same time, conceive and maintain a full-term pregnancy. Meeting this challenge requires a balanced approach between nutrition, performance and fertility.

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.

HealthyLife

HealthyLife

The HealthyLife programme focuses on a cow’s transition to lactation. It is a practical, science-based programme that helps farmers increase a cow's number of lactations by improving fertility, increasing milk yield per lactation and reducing involuntary culling; all of this will lead to an increase in lifetime daily yield.
