Calves, calves, calves ... some are good, some are bad

<p>On this episode of the podcast, I talk to Dr. David Renaud, Dave is a veterinary epidemiologist in the Department of Population Medicine at the University of Guelph.  His research focuses on the health and welfare of dairy calves. Dave teaches in both the veterinary and undergraduate curriculum.</p> <p>As one producer put it to me, "raising calves can be the most rewarding or the most soul sucking endeavor on the farm".  This producer wasn't wrong.  Dave and my discussion helps shed some light on how to make it the most rewarding job on the farm. </p> <p>In this episode we cover colostrum, nutrition and management considerations. If you have any questions regarding the podcast, or any of the projects his team is working on, you can reach out to Dave by emailing him at <a href='mailto:renaudd@uofguelph.ca'>renaudd@uoguelph.ca</a> </p> <p>I hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast.  If you have any questions about this episode or on future episodes of the podcast, please feel free to reach out to me by email at <a href='mailto:keith.schweitzer@trouwnutrition.com'>keith.schweitzer@trouwnutrition.com</a> or by phone at 1 (226) 236-3227 and please follow me on twitter @keithschweitzer</p>
