Navigating Heat Stress and Dehydration in Livestock

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) continues to impact animals across the U.S., with no immediate signs of slowing down. Since keeping wild birds off farms is nearly impossible, what steps can farmers take to help curb the spread? Advancements in testing and technology are playing a crucial role. For example, rumen monitors can detect drops in rumen activity days before physical symptoms appear. Ensuring animals stay hydrated and maintaining robust health support systems are also critical in managing HPAI. Most importantly, biosecurity measures remain essential, including careful monitoring of animal movement on and off the farm, as well as the activities of people working on farms.

Viral and Infectious Disease: Past. Present. Future.

Given the volatility of today’s prices and weather, protecting livestock has become more important than ever. Prices for youngstock continue to soar among dairy and beef herds. So how do we get the best productive life and growth out of these animals? With good management and health support with microbials, along with a strong relationship with our management team, we can achieve success. Research shows that by giving animals a strong start in the first 60 days, it can leave a lasting impact on not only their life but also the success of future generations.  For more information or additional episodes, visit Bio-Vet.com.
