Summary

The way mortality is managed defines the culture, biosecurity, and professionalism of a dairy operation. This webinar presented a systems-based approach to transforming mortality management into a consistent five-pillar process: confirm, move, dispose, document, and monitor. Designed specifically for veterinarians, managers, and industry leaders, this presentation provides the key tools needed to mitigate animal health and reputational risks by aligning on-farm protocols with FARM, AABP, and USDA APHIS standards. It helps ensure that respect for animals and responsible livestock stewardship is consistently upheld, even under conditions of high pressure or frequent employee turnover.
