Daily Monitor Saturday March 06 2021 Summary The dairy industry is faced with various challenges such as the high cost of milk production, low quality of raw milk delivered at the factory gate, fragmentation of supply chains and seasonality of milk supply as well as expensive farm inputs, poor animal husbandry, cattle diseases as well as poor management of dairy marketing systems. Advertisement Treating diarrhoea Cattle owners often treat diarrhoea of in-house calves with antibiotics. The calves however sometimes do not recover and the diarrhoea continues leading to death. Some vegetation species such as duosperma eremophilum are associated with worms. Further, pastoralists associate diarrhoea in suckling calves with excess milk.
