Clinical Rotations - Basic Clinical Skills for Production Medicine

Introduction to Herd Problem Recognition

Learn to:

  • Interpret DHI records and use them to identify and monitor herd problems of production, mastitis, reproduction, and replacement heifer management
  • Evaluate rates and treatment protocols of common dairy herd diseases
  • Assess dairy housing including ventilation and freestalls
  • Estimate costs of herd problems and develop partial budgets

This two-week rotation is a prerequisite to the series of production medicine rotations unless special exemptions are made with instructors. Farm visits will be made to a variety of dairy herds ranging from small stanchion barns to very large freestall confinement dairies. Most of the topics will be taught using information from the farm visits.
