"Animal health costs are killing your dairy farm's profits!" This is a very common belief in the dairy industry. For dairy farmers looking to boost their bottom line, does really it make sense to keep throwing money at expensive treatments and supplements? Or do we focus on improving soil biology? As Jeff & Petri Bellamy discovered, "We're six times less per cow than what we were as far as animal health costs... which is mind-blowing for us." By shifting their focus to soil health and using targeted nutrient application methods, they saw dramatic improvements in herd health and massive cost savings. Here's how they achieved it: - Invested in versatile equipment that allows a wide range of nutrient application - Focus on feeding the soil, not just the grass - Use magnesium supplements strategically - Monitor and adjust based on results Remember: Healthy soil = healthy grass = healthy cows = less supplement = healthy profits! What's your take on animal health in dairy platforms? https://lnkd.in/gEVGKjZM #DairyFarming #SoilHealth #AnimalWelfare #FarmProfitability #TowandFert

Animal Health Declarations are a vital tool for managing biosecurity risks when buying or selling livestock. They provide detailed information about the health status of flocks and herds, helping buyers assess potential risks before purchasing. As a buyer, always request a copy of the Animal Health Declaration to make informed decisions about the animals’ health. For South Australian sheep producers, Sheep Health Declarations are mandatory when selling livestock and booklets are available through your nearest PIRSA office. Using Animal Health Declarations is a proactive step toward maintaining healthy herds and flocks and ensuring strong biosecurity practices across the industry. Read more here: https://buff.ly/3WLqTvP

On World Health Day we recognise the contribution that animal health plays in supporting healthy people, communities, societies and environments. Caring for animal health aids in access to safe and nutritious food, supports the human and animal bond and facilitates health environments. Improved animal health not only provides safe and nutritious food and high-quality fibre but also contributes to improved environmental conditions by reducing emissions and minimising the amount of feed, water and land resources required to raise livestock. Research shows that pets contribute to improved mental and physical health in their owners. Pets not only encourage their human companions to exercise, they can also reduce stress and improve social connections, particularly during difficult or stressful times. Cost of living and housing pressures can make it more challenging for Australians to access affordable, nutritious food and can present challenges for pet owners – with people with greater financial or social vulnerabilities having to surrender their pets. The animal health industry is committed to supporting sustainable livestock production to ensure access to affordable, nutritious animal protein and high-quality fibre, as well as supporting enduring, rewarding and sustainable pet ownership experiences. We create and supply animal health products that prevent and treat illness, injury and disease. Read more: https://lnkd.in/daj8c4vv #WorldHealthDay #AnimalHealth #OneHealth
