  • My new daily

    Great podcast for developing case based knowledge as a new graduate farm vet. I would highly recommend to any beef/dairy farmer too. Although the show is based on the US farming systems, I find 99% very applicable here in the UK.

    Concise, clear and interesting. Really glad I stumbled across this. It is significantly helping to broaden my clinical knowledge base. Ties in nicely to other agricultural sciences too.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can More Vitamin A for Cows Improve Calf Health? The Challenge of Boosting Vitamin A Through Colostrum
Q: What do I take from this to the cow-calf side?
The results suggest it is difficult to improve calf vitamin A status by feeding the cow late in gestation. Beef cow research likewise required much higher than normal supplementation to change calf vitamin A measures.
Can More Vitamin A for Cows Improve Calf Health? The Challenge of Boosting Vitamin A Through Colostrum
Q: So what did they find in this study?
The study found no difference in colostrum vitamin A between the treatments and no difference in calf plasma retinol, although vitamin A in milk increased slightly during the first weeks after calving.
How Heritable Is Fertility in Beef Cattle?
Q: What did you find most interesting about the fertility metrics they analyzed and how they relate to practical herd management?
The analysis showed that calving interval and early calving are tightly linked to overall calving performance, with early calving and consistent intervals indicating good herd management; this supports focusing on management practices alongside any genetic considerations.
How Heritable Is Fertility in Beef Cattle?
Q: What made you keep reading the article after the abstract, given the potential biases in big data sets?
We looked for methodological safeguards, such as using the Seminal Association total herd reporting to avoid cherry-picking data, and the authors' approach to controlling for reporting bias made the study compelling enough to continue reading.
The Mystery Eye Disease Outbreak: Investigating a Point-Source Event in Stocker Cattle
Q: What type of diagnostics did you do in this case?
They reviewed the history, ran differential testing for common ocular pathogens, consulted ophthalmology, and sent a subset of affected eyes for histopathology; PCR tests for key pathogens were negative, leaving the cause unresolved.
