Extract

Data relating to husbandry and health, from a group of 35 large dairy herds of an average herd size of around 140 cows has been collected for a number of years. Comparative analysis of the years 1978/79 and 1982/83 is presented to show the effect of calving pattern change on mastitis infections in particular, and also the effect of improved record keeping together with the need for improved efficiency on other factors such as culling and rebreeding management.
