Streamlining Herd Health at Scale 🐄

Managing 4,000 cows? Consistency is everything.

At Lash Legacy Dairy (WA), the goal was simple:
✔️ Clear protocols
✔️ Less labor pressure
✔️ Reduced reliance on antibiotics

“Cows were staying too long in the hospital… there was no real consistency in protocol.”
– Kaleb Whitby

By moving to a proactive, easy-to-follow approach, they introduced AHV solutions at key moments:
✅ Udder support with Quick, Extra & Aspi
✅ Smooth fresh cow transition with Metri
✅ Faster, lower-stress dry-off with StopLac

“For mastitis cases, not every cow has to be pulled… it gives us more options instead of jumping straight to tubes.”

What changed?
🔹 More consistent routines
🔹 Better workflow & time savings
🔹 Improved cow comfort
🔹 Fewer repeat treatments

“It doesn’t replace everything—but it gives progressive producers options.”

What do US dairy producers see with Aspi?

From Oregon to Wisconsin, producers share what they see in the barn when inflammation becomes an issue—and how Aspi fits into their daily approach. They talk about why managing inflammation matters, what they notice after using Aspi, and the changes they see in swelling and overall cow comfort.

💬 “By the next day, the inflammation had really subsided.”
💬 “You can see their temperature drop.”
💬 “I was blown away by what I’d seen.”

Real farms. Real experiences. Honest conversations from the people working with cows every day.

🥛 Celebrating World Milk Day

Milk nourishes billions of people every day—supporting growth, health, and livelihoods across the globe.

But behind every liter of milk is a farmer, a herd, and a system that must stay resilient.

At AHV, our mission is simple:
✅ Support animal health
✅ Strengthen farm performance
✅ Contribute to a sustainable future

Because when cows thrive, farmers succeed—and the world is better nourished.

$3,010 to buy a replacement heifer in 2025. $3,447 in lifetime ROI per cow on AHV's Benelux longevity dataset of 2,161 cows. Henry Yoder's first farm went from 10–12 cows out of the tank to 5–6 — roughly $29,680 of milk back in the bulk tank annually at today's $19.70/cwt all-milk price. When was the last time you actually priced what your hospital pen costs you in a year?

How do you support the immune system—without overloading the cow?

In this video, AHV veterinary researcher Jan van Dijk explains the thinking behind the new Aspi formula and why immune modulation matters.

Cows face daily challenges. When infections occur, the immune system needs to respond—effectively, but in a balanced way.

🌿 That’s where phytogenic immunomodulation comes in.

Aspi uses carefully selected plant-based compounds to help the immune system:
✅ Respond efficiently
✅ Stay balanced
✅ Avoid excessive inflammation

In a UK field trial, cows with temperature spikes and reduced rumination were treated with either Aspi or an NSAID.

The results:
• More sustained temperature reduction
• Lower temperatures after 24 hours
• Fewer recurring spikes
• Faster rumination recovery

💡 The outcome?
Cows stabilize faster, stay active, and get back to the feed fence sooner.

Aspi trial results show longer-lasting temperature stability and fewer relapses

On Llyr Griffiths’ 500-cow dairy farm in Wales, frequent high-temperature alerts created uncertainty—especially when mastitis wasn’t the cause.

So they put two approaches side by side:
✅ Injectable anti-inflammatories
✅ Aspi boluses

Here’s what they saw in the barn:
- Injectables reduced temperature quickly… but often rebounded within 24 hours
- Aspi worked more gradually—but kept cows stable for longer
- Fewer repeated temperature spikes with Aspi
- Faster return to rumination and normal behavior

And as Llyr explains: healthy rumination and lying time are key drivers of milk production and fertility.

👉 Based on these results, Aspi is now becoming part of their herd health protocol.

🎥 Watch Llyr share his experience and what it means for proactive cow health:

New Aspi formula. Next-level immune modulation.

Around calving, early lactation, and other predictable stress moments, cows face natural inflammatory and metabolic pressure. The improved Aspi is designed to support the cow’s natural immune balance, helping her recover faster and stay resilient during these critical windows.

✅ Supports immune modulation – not symptom suppression
✅ Contributes to faster recovery and performance stability
✅ Demonstrated significantly fewer repeated temperature spikes (P = 0.0006)¹
✅ Oral application, no injection
✅ No milk or meat withdrawal (complementary feed)

Built on a proven foundation and further optimized, Aspi supports thermoregulation and immune resilience under challenging conditions, helping cows return more quickly to normal behavior like eating, ruminating, and moving comfortably.

How do you keep cows healthy and comfortable in the heat and humidity of the Southeast? ☀️🐄

At Pecan Grove Dairy in Georgia, it all comes down to doing the basics right—and building from there.

Over the past 8 years, the team has focused on improving cow comfort, using data to make better decisions, and fine-tuning their approach to fresh cow care and udder health.

The results speak for themselves:
✅ Cows recover faster
✅ Lower somatic cell counts
✅ Fewer cows leaving the herd
✅ A calmer, more comfortable dry-off process

By combining good management, smart monitoring, and consistent support, the farm has moved from solving problems to maintaining performance.

“It’s not about quick fixes—it’s about getting better over time.”

A great example of what steady progress on farm really looks like. 👏🐄
