Dry period, special needs and treatments are the main topics that were missing in the Future Farming and Cow Signals series of publications. We are currently preparing this long awaited collection of practical information about the most important period in the cow’s lactation cycle, the group of cows with special needs and about the work that has the greatest influence on the health, welfare, production and pleasure of the cows and the workers: Dry period, special needs and treatment.

Author Jan Hulsen is known for his highly practical and easy to read books, which are famed for the masses of excellent information they provide. Just like earlier editions in the Future Farming and Cow Signals series, this book is bursting with photographs, practical examples, fabulous illustrations and look-think-act pictures designed to challenge and educate the reader.

Trockenstehzeit, Risikokühe und Behandlung sind die wichtigsten Themengebiete, die in der Veröffentlichungsreihe Future Farming und Kuhsignale noch fehlen. Derzeit arbeiten wir an dieser lang ersehnten Sammlung praktischer Informati onen über (a) den wichtigsten Zeitabschnitt im Laktationszyklus der Kuh, (b) Kühe, die besonderer Aufmerksamkeit bedürfen und (c) die Arbeit, die den größten Einfluss auf die Gesundheit, das Wohlbefinden und die Leistung der Tiere hat und damit auf die Zufriedenheit von Mensch und Tier – kurz: über Trockenstehzeit, Risikokühe und Behandlung.

Der Autor Dr. Jan Hulsen ist bekannt für seine praxisnahen und gut lesbaren Bücher sowie die in ihnen enthaltene Fülle erstklassiger Informationen. Wie die anderen Titel ist dieses Buch üppig mit Fotos, Praxisbeispielen, hervorragenden Abbildungen und Anschauungsmaterial zum ‚Beobachten - Denken - Handeln’ ausgestattet, das den Leser motiviert und unterweist.

Sur une exploitation laitière, 80 % du temps est dédié à seulement 20 % du cheptel, c’est-à-dire aux vaches nécessitant des soins particuliers : vaches taries, génisses intégrant le troupeau, veaux, vaches fraîches vêlées, vaches boiteuses, vaches faibles et vaches malades. Une mise en œuvre efficace et ciblée de tout ce travail permet de réaliser un gain de temps significatif et d’augmenter la joie au travail. C’est la première raison pour laquelle l’organisation des soins requis est un élément capital de la gestion de toute exploitation laitière.

Par ailleurs, bon nombre des vaches nécessitant des soins se trouvent dans la période la plus critique : avant, pendant et après le vêlage. Plus cette période se passera bien, plus leur productivité sera élevée et moins elles auront de problèmes lors de leur prochaine lactation. Bon nombre de problèmes de santé autour du vêlage peuvent causer des dégâts irréversibles, tels que la fourbure aiguë et l’œdème excessif.

Enfin, un bon planning, une bonne organisation et des soins efficaces permettent de traiter les vaches préventivement et précocement. Ce qui évite qu’elles ne tombent malades et rend leurs chances de rétablissement optimales. D’où un cheptel en bonne santé, sans problèmes et productif. Et une exploitation avec des vaches sereines et des éleveurs satisfaits.
