DAIRY NEWS – World-renowned experts in calf care and development will lead hands-on training sessions for dairy producers, calf managers, herdsman and industry professionals in the PDPW Calf Care Connection® Workshop presented by Professional Dairy Producers® (PDPW). Three repeating sessions of Calf Care Connection meetings will be held, each starting at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 4:00 p.m., on November 13, 14 and 15 in Fennimore, Eau Claire and Chilton, Wis.
Workshop trainers include Donald Sockett, DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACVIM, Veterinary Microbiologist/ Epidemiologist at the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at University of Wisconsin; Richard Wallace, DVM, Cattle Technical Service veterinarian for Zoetis; and Jud Heinrichs, PhD, Professor of Dairy and Animal Science at Pennsylvania State University.
“The Calf Care Connection Workshops are designed to address some of the most pressing topics and challenges for today’s dairy producers and calf care managers,” said Cassie Mayer, PDPW Program Manager. “Participants will leave with a wealth of ideas and techniques they can put to work on their farms right away to boost calf health and performance.”
Each workshop will feature a general session presentation where Dr. Sockett shares insights on the Salmonella Heidelberg disease and strategies to control the deadly disease. Three breakout sessions will focus on proper cleaning and disinfecting of calf care equipment, rumen development and feeding strategies, and proper vaccination approaches and injection techniques.
