Increasing concern about over-reliance on antibiotics (resulting in
antimicrobial resistance), as well as broader concerns about animal
welfare, have put greater emphasis on preventative measures in
maintaining the health of farm animals. Herd health management
(HHM) programmes take a population approach based on quantitative
epidemiology which makes it possible to assess disease risk and, as
a result, prevent and manage diseases more effectively. Improving
dairy herd health reviews key challenges in dairy herd health
management, such as effective monitoring and diagnosis of
infectious diseases, as well as recent developments in areas such
as disease prevention and disease surveillance. This collection
reviews HHM issues across the dairy cow life cycle, from
reproduction and calf health to the transition stage and
replacement of stock. Later chapters discuss the successful
implementation of HHM programmes in specific instances, from
maintaining udder and hoof health, to preventing metabolic
disorders, bacterial and viral diseases, as well as parasitic
infections.
