Use the same setting as the second period (from 5 hours and\/or 7-9 kg expected milk yield), but let them enter the red zone after just 8 hours. For 2+ lactations, if there are no real problems, this would only be necessary for the first 10 days.<\/p>\n<p>This way, newly calved animals are immediately identified if they need more time to learn or if they are experiencing other issues.<\/p>\n<p>The sooner after calving you exceed 3 milkings per day, the better the lactation and udder health!!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heifers learn to visit the VMS faster.
