Healthy Heifer Program from Novartis Aims For Lower Health Costs and Improved Reproduction for Replacement Females in Beef Herds Healthy Heifer is a program that has been developed by Novartis Animal Health and has both a beef and a dairy component. Dr. Mike Moore, Professional Services Vet for Novartis, talked with us recently about Healthy Heifer and says that the program is designed to achieve more consistent, heavier and healthier heifers and calves in your beef cattle herd.

The program emphasizes prevention, not treatment, and it focuses on five key management areas: prenatal care, colostrum management, nutrition, vaccination and growth and development.

Healthy Heifer is a program that is designed as a veterinarian verified program and works under the BQA framework.

Our conversation with Dr. Mike Moore can be heard on the Listen Bar below- it's one of our regular Beef Buzz features as heard on the Radio Oklahoma Network. And, for more information on this program, you can click here for the Healthy Heifer website maintained by Novartis Animal Health.
