We have 5 new features this week: Foot and Mouth Disease: Novel Technologies Improve Detection and Control Scientists at the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) are using infra-red technology to identify cattle infected with foot and mouth disease (FMD), writes Laura McGinnis, ARS staff. Early Life Management and Long-Term Productivity of Dairy Calves The topic of calves and calf management traditionally involves discussions about dry cow management, colostrum, scours, rumen development and weaning, say M. E. Van Amburgh1, E. Raffrenato, F. Soberon and R. W. Everett, Department of Animal Science Cornell University. Milk Quality Tips for Tough Times Milk quality does count.
