Innovation for Dairy and Livestock Farmers

Wet Weather Woes: Support Livestock During Damp Times

In livestock farming few topics come up more often than the weather. Today, Dr. Haas breaks down how wet, damp conditions can quickly take a toll on cattle. During spring and fall, moisture and wind can impact both calves and cows, making proper management and nutrients critical. Providing shelter from the wind and dry bedding are key steps to protect cattle from dampness. Supporting immune health and encouraging hydration also help animals make the most of the nutrients they consume. What does that mean for farmers? Better feed efficiency, fewer health issues, and fewer vet calls helping to bring dollars to the bottom line.

Innovation for Dairy and Livestock Farmers

It has been one year since Bio-Vet [https://www.bio-vet.com/]announced they were part of Anpario [https://www.anpario.com/usa/]. So what has changed in this past year and what is on the horizon for these companies? Dr. Nate Haas joins us to reflect on the last 12 months and to give us a taste of things to come. One thing that has not changed in Bio-Vet’s commitment to farmers. Through feedback received, Bio-Vet has been able to develop a Bovine GoldLyte bucket for the water tank and a liquid form of Calf Goldlyte for easy mixing with milk. Dr. Haas also discusses how Orego-Stim is not a new product but has been introduced into existing products for its numerous health support benefits.

Baby Calves: Thrive VS Survive

We continue our discussion on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in this episode, with a focus on baby calves. The first 24 hours are critical, as the GI microbiome begins to establish and interact with the enteric nervous system. While this microbiome evolves rapidly as new feedstuffs are introduced and calves gain more environmental exposure, the foundation laid early on helps set the stage for immune function and overall health during the first 30 days of life. Dr. Haas walks us through the first 24 hours and the following weeks, highlighting how this vital system helps calves not only survive but thrive. Tune in to learn more.

Feed Efficiency and Immune Health Starts in the GI Tract

Ruminant digestion primarily takes place in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, with the small intestine playing a key role. The surface area and microbiome of the GI tract are essential for effective nutrient absorption and for building immune defenses in the animal. In this episode, Dr. Haas discusses the importance of the GI tract and ways to support this critical component of the digestive system. Although it’s not visible, signs of GI issues in ruminants can appear quickly. Direct-fed microbials may improve nutrient availability and overall health. Tune in to learn more.

Product Research, Field Trials, and Real-World Results Driving Profit for Farmers

The animal nutrition and health support industry is always advancing, with new products regularly entering the market. But what does it take for a product to go from concept to reality? In this episode, Dr. Haas and Dr. Luis Solorzano—Bio-Vet’s new Director of Applied Research and Technical Services—discuss the development and evaluation process behind new products. They also explain how the work doesn’t stop once a product hits the market. Bio-Vet continuously gathers feedback and monitors on-farm data to ensure each product remains effective and reliable.
