The Transition Cow and cow health workshop is a 2 hour group discussion delivered by Dr Carl Hockey from RuralVet, a Dairy Australia Repro Right accredited veterinarian. It will include an opportunity to ask any general cow health questions.


The session focuses on how transition cow feed management can:

  • Adapt fresh cows rumens to high energy feeds;
  • Avoid milk fever and other health problems around calving related to hypocalcaemia;
  • Maintaining high feed intakes post calving and control body condition loss in early lactation.

Implementing an integrated approach to transition nutrition and fresh cow management results in:

  • Higher in-calf rates;
  • Better use of labour;
  • Lower culling and death rates;
  • More milk (up to 300+litres / cow).
