Summary:

Intended for both veterinarians and dairy farmers, this guide presents a population-medicine approach for rearing replacement heifers with optimal weight gain, health, and reproductive potential. Boersema (Utrecht University) et al recommend routine monitoring of animals during planned farm visits, a structure protocol for analyzing risk factors, and preventative measures. Tables list common causes of infectious disease in young stick, disorder risk factors for four age groups, disease treatment plans, reference values for Holstein-Frisian calves, and causes of stillbirth.
