Scour is the leading cause of calf mortality in the UK and although some of the cases will be attributed to new pathogens on farm, the majority will stem from high quantities of already present pathogens. The answer? Cleanliness!

It’s surprising how long pathogens can survive in the environment. Take crypto for example - 6 months at 5-15°C - this is why we continuously talk about cleaning. Knowing what you’re tackling and being aware of how best to get rid of those pathogens on farm will be useful tools in your arsenal this Autumn.

We’re proud to have contributed analysis to the newly published Ruminant Health and Welfare Review.🐄📈

Understanding why cows leave farms is a key part of tracking progress toward better welfare standards across the UK dairy industry. This review is one of the ways the group is monitoring those goals, and we’re honoured to be part of it.

How does your herd compare to our latest analysis of Kingshay herds? 🐄

July 2025 milk yields were up by 3% to 26.6 litres/cow/day as the extremely dry weather reduced grass growth across the country, resulting in farmers having to feed more concentrates (up by 5% to 8.6 litres/cow/day). Milk prices averaged 43.92ppl for herds using Kingshay’s dairy costings service. 🥛
