These files are courtesy of Dr Paul Dettloff and Organic Valley Dairies in the USA. Articles have also been contributed by Dr Richard Holliday, USA. Some of their recommendations are specific to the USA style of confinement dairying but most of their suggestions are useful in NZ. They are based on decades of experience with veterinary consulting for dairy herds wanting natural remedies for profitable, long lived cows. Their primary message is that cow health starts with fully mineralised soils and access to free choice minerals, kelp, hay and high brix pastures. |
