This text aims to teach students, practitioners and farm advisors how to give management support to the dairy farmer in order to optimize the health, productivity and welfare of his herd. The book covers management practices and farm conditions which have both positive and negative influences on these aspects, rather than a more traditional focus on specific diseases. The core element in this methodology is the protocol. In order to illustrate the standard protocol the practitioner and farm advisor are taken through a farm visit, during which operational and problem-solving issues are addressed. These issues include: nutrition; health care; reproduction; milk production; replacement rearing; and farm economics.

Emphasis on herd health addresses the dairy industry's increased concern over population medicine. Expanded coverage of lameness highlights key problem areas in bovine feet. Revised drug usage recommendations and legal considerations present the most current information in these critical areas to help you prevent dangerous or costly errors. Additional public health/safety considerations identify diseases that pose a substantial public threat and detail special measures for related care of dairy cattle. New, innovative DVD features real-time videos of neurologic case studies, ultrasound and endoscopy procedures, and imaging techniques that familiarize you with the latest technological equipment and protocols.
