Dry Off Conditions in Dairy Cows and Consequences on the Transition Period

Tuesday, July 28 · 10:00 AM EDT

The dry-off period is a critical but often overlooked phase that can significantly influence cow health and performance in the next lactation. In this webinar, Dr. Erminio Trevisi will explore how nutrition, management practices, milk yield at dry-off, and environmental conditions affect immunometabolic responses and transition cow success. Attendees will gain practical insights into dry-off strategies that can improve resilience, udder health, and early-lactation performance. 

Dr. Erminio Trevisi is Full Professor of Animal Science and Head of the Department of Animal Science, Nutrition and Food (DIANA) at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy. An internationally recognized dairy scientist, his research focuses on transition cow health, nutrition, immunometabolism, dry-off management, animal welfare, and sustainable dairy production. He has authored more than 275 peer-reviewed publications, collaborated extensively with leading research institutions worldwide, and is a frequent invited speaker at international dairy science conferences.
