Download full report
Healthy Cow Corporation conducted a large-scale commercial pen study across three dairy farms in New York to evaluate the impact of FreshStart™ on dairy cow health, milk production, and reproductive performance. The study compared Holstein cows treated with FreshStart™ to a control group and measured various health and productivity indicators.
Key findings
- Improved Cow Health – FreshStart™ significantly reduced mastitis and pneumonia cases and lowered overall health disorders postpartum.
- Lower Mortality Rate – Cows treated with FreshStart™ had fewer deaths compared to the control group.
- Enhanced Milk Quality – While overall milk yield remained similar, cows receiving FreshStart™ showed increased protein yield, contributing to better milk quality.
- Better Reproductive Outcomes – FreshStart™ reduced pregnancy losses, improving overall breeding success.
These results indicate that FreshStart™ can be a valuable tool in enhancing herd health, improving productivity, and reducing antibiotic reliance in dairy farming.
