RECYCLED MANURE SOLID BEDDING AND DAIRY HEALTH: TWO COMPATIBLE OBJECTIVES?
Speaker: Simon Dufour, DVM, PhD, Associate Professor at University of Montreal
Producers have developed an increased interest for bedding produced from recycled manure solids, however, its use gives rise to many potential animal health concerns, whether founded or not.
