Improving dairy cattle health and productivity
FAO
2025.12.04
This highly visual set of training materials focuses on core farm-level practices known to impact animal health and production outcomes, such as colostrum management, calfhousing, nutrition, milking hygiene, and biosecurity. Each topic can be covered in a short, focused session (30-90 minutes), ideally combining discussion, visual aids, and on-farmdemonstration. These materials were designed for and are most effective when used on farms. Importantly, they are designed to be modular, practical, and flexible, making themsuitable for a wide range of training environments.This volume is part of a broader series that will also address other major production systems and livestock species, including commercial poultry, beef cattle, and small ruminants. These materials were developed under a regional initiative to reduce antimicrobial use in the dairy and poultry sectors, based on the principle that most disease and thus, muchantimicrobial use can be prevented by improving husbandry. In many systems, antimicrobials are used not only for treatment, but to compensate for poor housing, nutrition,biosecurity, and management. By promoting sound animal care and preventive practices, these materials help farmers and veterinarians keep animals healthy, reduce the need forantimicrobials, and lower the risk of antimicrobial resistance.
