How to achieve an optimal transition period for your herd

It is no secret that the transition period is the most important period in a lactating cows lifecycle. 3 weeks prior to calving, right through to 3 weeks post calving, cows will undergo major changes and challenges as they dry-off, calve and re-enter the milking herd. During this time it is imperative these cows receive first class management, with rigid protocols in place. In order to provide the best support possible it is important to understand how the transition period affects production, reproduction, and overall health and how this effects profitability and efficiency.

Transition

Transition

The transition period is an important period in the cows’ productive life that is very demanding. The AHV Transition Programme focuses on the period before and after calving and ensures sufficient energy and minerals, and stimulates dry matter intake.

Uterine Health

Uterine Health

Fertile animals are essential for a dairy farm. The AHV Fertility Programme focuses on optimal fertility and longevity of your cows.

calf rearing

Calves

Investing in calf rearing is investing in the future dairy cow and maintaining a healthy farm environment overall. The AHV Calf Rearing Programme focuses on the respiratory system, intestines and resistance of the calf for optimal rearing and build-up of its natural resistance.
