Abstract:
The implementation of an integrative programme of
herd health and production management in dairy cows requires monitoring
a large category of data: general status of the animals, clinical exam,
paraclinical exams (ultrasound, blood and urine biochemistry,
bacteriological, virusological, serological), reproduction parameters,
housing conditions, nutrition, milk production and its quality, veterinary
actions and their results. The analysis and synthesis of all the data will
allow us to establish a herd diagnostic, the influence of hazard factors on
health and production and the elaboration of a plan for short and longterm
action.
