KNOWLEDGE ARTICLES
AHV is proud to empower you as a dairy farmer to optimise the animal health of your dairy farm. We understand like no other that you are expected to have a very broad knowledge when managing your business. A strong dairy cow is very important to you, but achieving a top cow requires a great deal of attention to all aspects of animal health. It starts with calf rearing and many challenges will follow in the areas of udder health, energy, claw, transition and fertility, among others. We would like to help you with these challenges and try to write a knowledge article about each type of challenge you face on your farm. This article should help you broaden your knowledge and apply the best health advice.
