  • More about Improving Dairy Herd Health

The emphasis on preventative measures in maintaining farm animal health, such as herd health management (HHM) programs, has grown due to concerns about antimicrobial resistance and animal welfare. These programs take a population approach based on quantitative epidemiology to assess disease risk and prevent and manage diseases more effectively. Improving Dairy Herd Health reviews key challenges in dairy herd health management, including effective monitoring and diagnosis of infectious diseases, and recent developments in disease prevention and surveillance. Successful implementation of HHM programs is discussed in later chapters, covering topics such as udder and hoof health, metabolic disorders, bacterial and viral diseases, and parasitic infections.

The growing concern surrounding the excessive reliance on antibiotics, leading to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, has prompted a heightened emphasis on preventive measures in preserving the health of farm animals. Herd health management (HHM) programs adopt a population-based approach, utilizing quantitative epidemiology, to effectively assess disease risk and implement preventive and management strategies.

Enhancing Dairy Herd Health delves into critical challenges in dairy herd health management, encompassing efficient monitoring and diagnosis of infectious diseases, as well as recent advancements in disease prevention and surveillance. This comprehensive collection explores HHM issues throughout the dairy cow's life cycle, encompassing reproduction, calf health, transition stage, and stock replacement. Subsequent chapters highlight successful implementations of HHM programs in diverse areas, such as maintaining udder and hoof health, preventing metabolic disorders, bacterial and viral diseases, as well as parasitic infections.

By adopting a population-based approach and utilizing quantitative epidemiology, HHM programs play a pivotal role in safeguarding the health and well-being of farm animals, ensuring sustainable agricultural practices, and promoting animal welfare.
