Summary in the original language of the document

Mads is a producer of crossbred steers and heifers, and his calves have “milk on pasture” in the form of dairy breed sucklers that come with the calves from the producer he buys animals from. This potentially provides a different starting point for the calves to have a more gradual introduction to parasites while having access to good energy from the milk - and we want to follow this to learn from his experience.

Summary translation

Mads Volmar fortæller i denne video åbent om fordele og ulemper ved forskellige strategier til reduktion af parasittrykket, som han har overvejet eller benytter sig af, men også hvilken type rådgivningsværktøjer han kunne savne.
Mads er producent af krydsningsstude og -kvier, og hans kalve har ”mælken med på græs” i form af ammetanter af malkerace, som følger med kalvene fra den producent han indkøber dyr fra. Det giver potentielt et anderledes udgangspunkt for, at kalvene har en mere gradvis introduktion til parasitter samtidig med, at de har adgang til god energi fra mælken – og det vil vi gerne følge med i, for at lære af hans erfaringer.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	Pros and cons of different parasite pressure reduction strategies and possible advisory tools.
What problem does the tool address?:	The Innovation Center for Organic Farming is currently focusing on identifying barriers to best-practice implementation and knowledge sharing for effective prevention of parasites in calves and youngstock on pasture.
What solution does the tool offer?:	Here a group of farmers, advisors and veterinarians with an interest in the issue are talking about what it is that makes it difficult to follow the otherwise good advice when it comes to keeping parasites at bay. Mads Volmar talks openly about the pros and cons of different parasite pressure reduction strategies he has considered or uses, but also what kind of advisory tools he could use.
