Teagasc and Animal Health Ireland (AHI) have announced a revised list of dates for upcoming CalfCare events.
Many of the events organised in early January have been affected by the tough icy weather, with some events being rescheduled or cancelled.
These CalfCare events are held every January and are aimed at dairy farmers and beef farmers who rear dairy-beef calves.
The focus of this year’s events will be preventing pneumonia in calves, understanding dairy and beef indices to produce quality calves, ways to utilise pain relief during the calving season and achieving optimal rumen development.
The series began on 7 January, with all events starting at 11am at a range of farms nationwide.
