IBS carries out the first round of sanitary management at the Leite Seridó Project

Between the 12th and the 27th of June, were carried out the sanitary management services on the properties served by the Instituto BioSistêmico (IBS) in the Leite Seridó project, in Rio Grande do Norte.

Performed with the Vaca Móvel (Cow mobile), the consultations were conducted by the veterinarian and IBS consultant, Edson Tavares. The Vaca Móvel (cow mobile) is a unit conceived by IBS, equipped to monitor the quality of the milk and the health of the herds, as well as to carry out Fixed Time Artificial Insemination (FTAI).

In addition to the IATF, the consultant carried out milk quality tests and gave guidance on sanitary management aimed at the health of the herd and good milking hygiene practices.

According to the veterinarian, the receptivity in the properties was excellent in this first round. Producers were able to expose the main problems they face and clarify doubts about how to improve day-to-day management of the dairy activity.

“Among the recommendations we made, we reinforce that it is important for the producer to carry out the tests of mug of black backbround and the California mastites test (CMT) weekly. This facilitates the diagnosis of animals with mastitis and contributes to organizing the animals' milking line", highlights the IBS consultant.
