All animals on a dairy farm are important but a small percentage of these animals require special attention. This may be because of expected occurrences such as calving, drying off or receiving routine health and management care or unplanned health needs due to illness or injury. This Guideline will cover information on the various special needs animal groups often found on a modern dairy farm, suggested facilities for these animals and how to integrate them into a dairy facility to assure continued production of safe high quality milk.

All DPC Guidelines go through an extensive peer review process. More information is available here.
