Purchasing Cattle

With very few truly ‘closed’ herds in the UK, this issue of dairy insight discusses the implications of increasing the risk of disease by introducing new cattle to the herd. We consider at the ways to minimise the risks and look at how quarantine facilities can be managed effectively.

Issued March 2018.
