Accomplishments
Farmers have started to adopt precision technologies for calf raising and for fertility and health monitoring of cows. This has resulted in improved labor efficiency on farm, as well as improved fertility for dairy cows. <br /> <br /> We have produced many publications related to the 3 objectives of the project and are collaborating on a comprehensive calf management publication from the last five years of the project. <br /> <br /> We have conducted many outreach events that have provided dairy producers, consultants, and dairy industry representatives with valuable information that will be able to enhance the profitability of the dairy industry in the United States. <br /> <br />Publications
Impact Statements
