StarFish Medical Bio Services manager, Nick Allan, is a co-author of an original research article titled, Impact of Dystocia on Milk Production, Somatic Cell Count, Reproduction and Culling in Holstein Dairy Cows, published in the January 19, 2023 online edition of Animals.
The objective of this study was to explore the impact that dystocia had on future health and productivity of Holstein dairy cows. A total of 2159 cows across 21 dairy farms in Alberta, Canada were enrolled in this study. Multivariable models were created to explore associations between outcome variables and calving ease score. The study concludes: “It is evident that assistance at calving, particularly a moderate–hard pull, is associated with significant impacts on future milk production and risk of being culled; therefore, efforts should be made to minimize dystocia and prevent these impacts.”
