4: Why reproduction is the first to go.
from Ruminate This | Agrarian Solutions · host Scott Zehr
In this episode we unravel the intricate layers of a cow's biological hierarchy, where the immune system takes precedence over milk production and reproduction. Discover why immune challenges such as mycotoxins, heat stress, overcrowding, mastitis, and lameness trigger an inflammatory response, leading to a redirection of nutrients towards immune support. We will explore why "reproduction is always the first to go" when a cow faces immune challenges. Tune in as Dr. Larry Roth shares insights on how understanding nutrient allocation can lead to more effectively optimizing cattle health and productivity. Want to discuss this further?
