Dr. Todd Bilby of Merck Talks About Targeted Reproductive Management (TRM)

Dr. Todd Bilby leads the U.S. dairy technical services team at Merck Animal Health. His areas of expertise includes dairy reproduction, cow comfort and transition management, all grounded in his university research and extension background. In this episode of DairyVoice, host Connie Kuber of Sealpro Silage Barrier Films talks with Dr. Bilby about the evolution of dairy reproduction over the years. Dr. Bilby discusses Targeted Reproductive Management (TRM), which is based on the idea that when a producer uses monitoring technology, they can take advantage of those cows that show a strong natural heat. He explains how dairy producers can utilize both the advantages of monitoring technology and the great results they can achieve with synchronization.
