This has an impact on the health of the animals, which improves considerably, as Giambattista Benedetti of Allevamento Elisa, which has been involved with dairy cows since 1986, told us.
“The benefits have been enormous, especially in terms of animal health: we have greatly decreased treatments for mastitis and lameness. So the economic feedback was also beneficial and the use of antibiotics was reduced” – stated.
