Topics:
Strategies for improving dairy cattle reproductive performance and economics: The latest research on reproductive management programs for second and greater services for dairy cows will be covered.

Examples of strategies for on-farm implementation and performance implications will be provided.

Using automated sensors for improving dairy cattle health monitoring and management: The latest concepts and research on the use and value of health monitoring and management using automated sensors (e.g., rumination, activity, milk weights monitors) will be covered.

We will also cover the economics of incorporating technologies into farm management.
