Abstract
Achieving a margin over investment in dairy production is exceptionally challenging and is likely to remain so in coming years. Regular veterinary input on dairy farms, frequently structured around a routine visit to assist with fertility management, is common in the UK. In addition to this service, cattle veterinarians are asked to provide analysis and advice on improving herd management to minimise disease occurrence and optimise production. Knowledge and understanding of the long-term production losses associated with clinical and subclinical disease are required to facilitate provision of this service and to positively influence on-farm decision-making.
