En esta charla discutiremos cómo la implementación de programas intensivos de alimentación a terneras de reposición durante las primeras semanas de vida mejora su crecimiento, de qué forma afecta su desarrollo ruminal y su potencial productivo futuro.
Cattle herds in Wisconsin face ongoing challenges from two species of liver flukes—Fasciola hepatica (the common liver fluke) and Fascioloides magna (the deer liver fluke).
