Agriland visited Marie-Louise Ryan, a vet working out of Mulcair vets in Cappamore, Co. Limerick to hear her top tips ahead of calving.

The award-winning vet advised farmers on the best practices for early calf rearing, transition management, and issues around calving.

Ryan said getting the basics right, keeping practices consistent, and talking to your vet about issues should get farmers through the season.
