Dairy Cattle
A total of 268 dairy farms produce 1.34 billion pounds of milk in Georgia. Dairy ranks 8th as an agricultural commodity in Georgia. Over 148 herds in Georgia are on DHI. They average over 21,000 pounds of milk and 300 cows each. Our goal is to extend lifelong learning about dairy production and management through research based information.

Resolviendo Problemas Después del Parto
(B 1211-SP)
La identificación y el diagnóstico temprano de problemas reproductivos relacionados a nuestro programa de salud del hato es una parte esencial de un manejo eficiente de nuestra producción lechera. Muchos factores durante el periodo horro (seco), el parto y la lactancia temprana pueden disminuir la eficiencia reproductiva. Estos incluyen la mastitis, quistes ováricos, falta de condición física (body condition), placentas retenidas y anestro. También, ciertos desordenes pueden ocurrir simultáneamente. Por ejemplo, una vaca con fiebre de leche frecuentemente padece de una placenta retenida. Estos problemas post-parto alargan los intervalos entre partos y afectan la eficiencia reproductiva.
