This app is an important component of the CalfStart program, which is built on recent calf-wellness research and leading products from Zoetis Canada to provide protocols and guidelines to help Canadian veterinarians and dairy farmers make the best choices for the health of their calves. The app provides the functionality to create, manage, and update individual calf health records and view overall health data in order to monitor and improve herd health. Prevention of illness is at the heart of the CalfStart program and proper colostrum management is a vital first step in producing healthy calves today to have productive cows tomorrow. The comprehensive and easy-to-use functionality in this app provides the foundation from which proper health tracking can be performed, one calf at a time. By creating individual calf health records using the CalfStart app, data-driven communication between the dairy producer and the veterinarian is promoted, which leads to better health outcomes for calves.
