Transition planning
1. Up to 50% of NZ cows develop subclinical milk fever after calving. They never go down. They never get treated. They quietly produce 7% less milk for the entire season.
2. Clinical milk fever costs you 14% of that cow’s lactation. Not the day she went down — the whole season.
3. A cow with milk fever is 8x more likely to develop ketosis or mastitis. Transition failures rarely stay single problems. They cascade.
4. Hypocalcaemic cows take 12 extra days to get back in calf and need 40% more services per conception. That’s a missed heat, more straws, and a later-calving cow next season.
5. Milk fever costs the average NZ farm ~$8,000 per 100 cows — and that’s only the clinical cases. The subclinical iceberg sits underneath it. Every 1% you shave off your empty rate is worth $10/cow in operating profit.
The transition period — the three weeks either side of calving — is the highest-leverage window of your entire season. Get it right and your cows hit peak milk hard, cycle on time, and stay in the herd. Get it wrong and you’re fighting the consequences until dry-off.
