About The Book
- Dry period, special needs cows and treatments are the main topics that were missing in the Cow Signals series of publications. We are currently preparing this long awaited collection of practical information about the most important period in the cow's lactation cycle, the group of cows with special needs and about the work that has the greatest influence on the health, welfare, production and pleasure of the cows and the workers: Dry period, special needs cows and treatments.
- Author Jan Hulsen is known for his highly practical and easy to read books, which are famed for the masses of excellent information they provide. Just like earlier editions in the Cow Signals series, this book is bursting with photographs, practical examples, fabulous illustrations and look-think-act pictures designed to challenge and educate the reader.
