This episode features Dr. Lance Baumgard of Iowa State University discussing his webinar, “Rethinking Immunity in Transition Cows: Are They Truly Suppressed?” Joining the conversation are Dr. Robert Fry, Atlantic Dairy Consulting, and Dr. Ryan Pralle, Technical Services Specialist with Balchem. The panel challenges the long-standing belief that transition cows are immunosuppressed and explores whether disease risk in early lactation is more about stressors and pathogen load than a broken immune system.
