Preconditioning for success

2017-08-22 00:11:32| Beef

Transitioning from the cow/calf operation to the feedlot is stressful for calves, which is why preconditioning them beforehand is imperative. Mark Hilton, D.V.M. and Elanco technical consultant, stresses the importance of making the transition process as easy as possible for the animal by creating a preconditioning program covering vaccinations, nutrition management, environment and genetics. Along with raising healthier and happier calves, they will also be more productive, resulting in higher profits.
