02 Mar 2027
Livestock Care Delivery

In Focus: Swine · Dairy cattle · Beef cattle · Poultry · PRRS · Mastitis · BVD · Fertility · Vaccination programmes · Herd diagnostics · Precision nutrition · Surveillance

Herd health programmes are often budgeted as a cost, competing with feed and labour. This session reframes them as a return, showing how diagnostics and data-led nutrition deliver measurable gains in yield, fertility and treatment savings, and how to win producer budget for them.

Topics:

  • Vaccination strategies that protect herd performance
  • Diagnostics that protect yield and fertility
  • Nutrition built on herd-level data
