Caring for down cows

In this episode, we revisit a podcast that focuses on down cows and how to maximise their chances of recovery. Hear from vet Phil Poulton, who completed a PhD on the subject, as he speaks to Dairy Australia’s National Lead – Animal Health and Welfare, Stephanie Bullen, about when a cow goes from a down cow to a downer cow, how to safely lift and move her, appropriate nursing and when you should use anti-inflammatories.  For more information about down cows and how to care for and manage them, visit the Dairy Australia website and search ‘down cows.’ Related links:  Decision tree for down cows | Dairy Australia If you have suggestions for future podcast episodes, you can get in contact with us by emailing [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
