Likewise, the last three weeks of gestation are very important for the health of the offspring and is fundamental for the calf to reach its genetic potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With no doubt, prevention is the most efficient and least expensive solution to tackle the transition period. The three major areas to be explored are protocols, labour and genetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protocols are crucial to provide the correct comfort and nutrition for the cows. Next, having a team that is informed and well-trained ensures that the protocols may be executed upon. Finally, with genetics, you can enhance the transition health of your herd by making cows more genetically-resistant to disorders including mastitis, metritis, and ketosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"is-style-underline wp-block-heading\">ABS solutions for Transition Period<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"\" class=\"alignwide section-wrapper section-wrapper-small-fluid block-product-slider\" data-magellan-target=\"\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"carousel-card-section owl-carousel owl-theme\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"card-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.absglobal.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2020\/07\/product-Transitionright-3.jpg?w=1000&#038;resize=375,250\" alt=\"Image of medical devices\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card-section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"card-title\">TransitionRight\u00ae<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"card-description\">Don\u2019t React.
