Primefact Number: 274    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: 01 Nov 2006

This Primefact provides information on:

  • recommended practices to maintain herd health;
  • common drought problems such as bloat, grain sickness and urea poisoning;
  • management of feeding practices to maintain herd health.
