New dairy #AntimicrobialUse paper published today... fantastic to see majority of dairy farms with low levels of use! https://t.co/bx3MZMAohz #AMR

[RuminantPopnHealth @herdhealth]

Detailed study of two dairy herds shows previous cow lameness history may make an overwhelming contribution to herd-level lameness – environment or cow factors could influence risk of recurrent lameness #EvidenceBased #TeamDairy https://t.co/ls7g8zOnkd
