In this episode, I had the pleasure of hosting again Dr. David Casper, a distinguished Senior Dairy Nutritionist. Here, we engaged in an insightful discussion centered around Dr. Casper's research on calf nutrition, with a particular focus on the effects of essential oils and cobalt in calf starters. We explored how the integration of these components into calf starters can profoundly influence the health and growth of calves, presenting new viewpoints for professionals in the dairy industry.
