MSD Animal Health UK Limited (a division of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, N.J., USA (NYSE: MRK)) is hosting a ‘Growing Healthy Calves’ webinar to provide dairy herd managers and their staff with valuable insights and practical tips to ensure the well-being and optimal growth of dairy calves.

The hour-long webinar, which is free to attend and open to all, is scheduled to take place at 7pm on Wednesday 15^th May and will be hosted by Juan Pedro Campillo, MSD Animal Health’s Global Dairy Technology Marketing Manager, and UK Veterinary Advisor, Kat Baxter-Smith. Together they will discuss the key challenges facing dairy calves during their first 12 months, and explain how preventative care protocols which include the use of the SenseHub^® Youngstock monitoring system can help herd managers and their staff to identify and mitigate these challenges as cost-efficiently and effectively as possible.

The SenseHub^® Youngstock system uses electronic ear tags to assess the behavioural patterns of calves from birth to 12 months of age, to identify any signs of potential ill health or opportunities for welfare improvements.

“Using SenseHub to monitor calves reduces the farm’s exposure to labour market shortages and ensures that each and every calf gets off to the best possible start so that it can make a positive contribution to the herd’s income sooner,” explains Samantha Carmichael, Senior Technology Solutions Marketing Manager for MSD Animal Health’s Ruminant Business Unit.

“The webinar will explain how the insights provided by SenseHub can be used by herd managers, their staff and the farm’s vet to fine-tune youngstock management protocols in order to optimise the lifetime productivity of each animal entering the herd. We’ll also be discussing other key aspects of youngstock management such as preventative disease practices and vaccination protocols, with the webinar concluding with a question and answer session in which participants will able to quiz the expert panel.”
