Webinar recording

Join us for a webinar to learn why good rumen development is key to weaning transition and how to make it successful on your farm.

Changes in diet, environment and social grouping can make weaning a stressful time for a calf. Get the transition period right and you secure your calf’s growth, health and welfare, and reduce stress during this critical time.

You’ll hear from Ginny Sherwin, Clinical Assistant Professor in Farm Animal Medicine at the University of Nottingham, who is a RCVS and European Recognised Specialist in Bovine Health Management.

In this webinar you will learn about:

  • The importance of pre-weaning calf management in achieving optimal rumen development
  • How to achieve optimal weaning on your farm
  • Post weaning nutrition considerations
  • How to measure, monitor and achieve weaning performance targets

If you’re involved with calf rearing and want to give them best start in life, this webinar’s for you. Please register even if you’re unable to attend to receive a copy of the recording.

We’ll also be running a number of practical on-farm meetings across the country, keep an eye out for further details.
