What the Upcoming U.S. Base Change Means

The current PTA base reflects dairy cows born in 2015 since the previous base revision was made in 2020. April 2025 is the next base change and represents dairy cows born in 2020. It’s important to keep these base change adjustments in mind, as they ensure that genetic evaluations remain relevant by comparing today’s animals against a more recent benchmark rather than historical averages.  

The Right Udder Care Plan for the Right Situation

It is important to understand that the changing of the seasons is not the only time that we need to consider what products we need to use and their effectiveness. Different situations mean different udder care needs for your dairy. Every udder health program should be crafted based on individual weather climate, environmental conditions, management practices, etc.
