Transporting cattle over long distances can be a stressful process for both animals and producers. Without access to feed and water, cattle can experience significant weight loss—known as “shrink”—which can impact their health, productivity, and value. It occurs as a result of lost fluids, body tissue, faeces, and urine, but the good news is that it’s both measurable and manageable.
Join Dr Tony Parker (MLA) and Dr Elizabeth Parker BVSc PhD (Ohio State University) to learn practical strategies that can help you minimise shrink and keep your cattle healthier and more market-ready.
Register now to discover how small changes in transportation practices can lead to better outcomes for your herd and your bottom line.
