Animal diseases disrupt milk production, causing economic losses and reduced reproductive performance. They also raise animal welfare concerns due to increased veterinary costs and animal suffering. Environmentally, they contribute to potential antimicrobial resistance, higher carbon emissions per unit of milk, and risks of zoonotic transmission. Overall, these diseases negatively impact animal health, human health, and the environment.
At the individual level, diseases such as mastitis have both immediate and long-term consequences. In the short term, they lead to reduced milk production and increased veterinary costs. Over time, they contribute to higher morbidity rates and involuntary culling, threatening the efficiency and profitability of dairy farms.
A closer look at the root causes of health problems reveals that the transition period, generally defined as the last 3 weeks of gestation and the first 3 weeks of lactation, is particularly critical.
During this time, cows experience a decline in dry matter intake (DMI), weakened immune function, increased inflammation, and oxidative stress.
To mitigate disease-related milk production losses and strengthen cows’ natural defenses, Adisseo provides targeted nutritional solutions that support dairy cows to ensure their lifetime performance.
By contributing to dairy cow health and ensuring long-term productivity, Adisseo’s solutions help dairy producers improve the lifetime performance of their herds.
This contributes not only to better farm efficiency but also to the overall sustainability of dairy production.
