Project description

The goal of this agricultural trajectory is to create tools for the individual and dynamic follow-up of the transition success in dairy cattle. These tools will make it possible for the farmer to monitor risk animals and take individualized (preventive) measures to reduce the chance of problems during the transition period and to increase productivity and animal welfare.
