In livestock farming few topics come up more often than the weather. Today, Dr. Haas breaks down how wet, damp conditions can quickly take a toll on cattle. During spring and fall, moisture and wind can impact both calves and cows, making proper management and nutrients critical. Providing shelter from the wind and dry bedding are key steps to protect cattle from dampness. Supporting immune health and encouraging hydration also help animals make the most of the nutrients they consume. What does that mean for farmers? Better feed efficiency, fewer health issues, and fewer vet calls helping to bring dollars to the bottom line.

Wet Weather Woes: Support Livestock During Damp Times

It has been one year since Bio-Vet announced they were part of Anpario. So what has changed in this past year and what is on the horizon for these companies? Dr. Nate Haas joins us to reflect on the last 12 months and to give us a taste of things to come. One thing that has not changed in Bio-Vet’s commitment to farmers. Through feedback received, Bio-Vet has been able to develop a Bovine GoldLyte bucket for the water tank and a liquid form of Calf Goldlyte for easy mixing with milk. Dr. Haas also discusses how Orego-Stim is not a new product but has been introduced into existing products for its numerous health support benefits.

We continue our discussion on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in this episode, with a focus on baby calves. The first 24 hours are critical, as the GI microbiome begins to establish and interact with the enteric nervous system. While this microbiome evolves rapidly as new feedstuffs are introduced and calves gain more environmental exposure, the foundation laid early on helps set the stage for immune function and overall health during the first 30 days of life. Dr. Haas walks us through the first 24 hours and the following weeks, highlighting how this vital system helps calves not only survive but thrive. Tune in to learn more.

Baby Calves: Thrive VS Survive

Ruminant digestion primarily takes place in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, with the small intestine playing a key role. The surface area and microbiome of the GI tract are essential for effective nutrient absorption and for building immune defenses in the animal. In this episode, Dr. Haas discusses the importance of the GI tract and ways to support this critical component of the digestive system. Although it’s not visible, signs of GI issues in ruminants can appear quickly. Direct-fed microbials may improve nutrient availability and overall health. Tune in to learn more.

Water is the most vital nutrient—no debate. Traditionally, it has been easier to monitor the hydration of younger animals. However, tracking water intake in older livestock presents a challenge. How can you measure water consumption, if at all? Dr. Haas explores the impact of dehydration, even at the cellular level, and shares best practices for ensuring animals have access to high-quality water. He also highlights products designed to promote drinking and support proper hydration. For more information about Bio-Vet or to explore additional episodes, visit Bio-Vet.com.

Hydration: Are Your Animals Actually Drinking Enough?

At first glance, it may seem like all microbes and microbial products are practically the same. However, if you take a closer look, there is more to the story. There is a difference when it comes to the quantity of microbials and knowledge of how direct fed microbials interact within the body and each other. Bio-Vet is a trusted source on all things microbials thanks to thirty years in the industry and a team that knows their science and cowside practice. Take a listen and learn that not all microbials are created equal. For more information or to access additional episodes, visit Bio-Vet.com.

All Microbials Are Not Created Equal

Not all microorganisms were created equal and every farm has microorganisms. Dr. Haas walks us through the story of microbiology focusing on what types of organisms exist, how they are classified, and most importantly what that means for animal health. One of the best defenses to detrimental microbes is beneficial microbes. These microbes coupled with attention to animal care and management can go a long way in helping to fight off the ever presence of disease microorganisms. While it is impossible to eliminate these organisms, giving animals a strong defense against them is a great start. For information or additional episodes, visit Bio-Vet.com.

The Hidden Disease Risk on EVERY Farm

The story of microbiology and microbes is interwoven with management and animal health. Dr. Haas takes a bigger picture look at how this story ties together with industry changes, preventative measures, and price volatility. The Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) has brought about changes in relationships with veterinarians and how farmers manage animal health and preventative care. Since the use of medications requires move oversight, it has been an opportunity to focus on preventive care and immune support with vaccines and microbials. Price volatility is also a factor as farmers look to stabilize their expenses and get the most out of their bottom line. For more information or additional episodes, visit Bio-Vet.com.
