First-lactation cows are some of the most genetically valuable animals in the dairy herd but the transition into their first lactation can have lasting effects on health, reproduction and future performance.

Originally released on The Dairy Podcast Show, this episode features Dr. Larry Roth of Agrarian Solutions and Dr. Liz Eckelkamp discussing the unique challenges first-lactation cows face at calving, including reduced feed intake, inflammation, and uterine health.

They explore how these early challenges can create a cascade that affects reproductive performance, retention and a cow's ability to reach her genetic potential.

Listen in as they discuss fresh cow management and what can be done to help first-lactation cows get off to a stronger start, and set them up for a more productive future.
