Leite Rondônia Project Conducts Third Round of Health Management and AITF Services

For milk to be healthy, safe, and of high quality, proper care of the dairy herd's health and adherence to best practices before, during, and after milking are essential. In the Leite Rondônia Project, farmers in the Ji-Paraná/RO region have been receiving guidance from the Instituto BioSistêmico (IBS) on the proper sanitary management of animals on their farms.

Between October and November, IBS carried out the third round of sanitary management visits, conducted by veterinarian Edson Tavares. These visits included monitoring milk quality and herd health, as well as implementing Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination (AITF).

The veterinarian emphasized the importance of good milking hygiene practices, advising farmers on procedures like pre-dipping and post-dipping. He also highlighted the need for deworming using safe products, vaccination, and the use of fly-control ear tags.

During this round, farmers from the municipalities of Jardinópolis, Ji-Paraná, Mirante da Serra, Nova União, Ouro Preto do Oeste, and Vale do Paraíso were served.

About the Leite Rondônia Project

Conceived and implemented by the Instituto BioSistêmico, the Leite Rondônia project is supported by resources from the Zoetis Foundation. The initiative seeks to promote the development of dairy farming on a total of 100 properties, with a family farming profile, in the Ji-Paraná region, in the state of Rondônia, in the Amazon Biome.

It proposes a set of activities and technological assistance resources, structured and modulated in four thematic axes aimed at improving the production process: good practices, reproductive management, nutritional management and health management.

In addition to technical visits to each property, the project provides for training meetings. These include training focused on the sustainability of dairy farming in the Amazon Biome, highlighting topics that require greater attention on the properties, reinforcing the good practice measures to be implemented during the project.

The project uses the CheckMilk methodology, which has a platform with a management system and application for technical teams and producers. The system facilitates project management and the application assists the producer on a daily basis, as a support, an extension of IBS consultancy that can be accessed at any time in the palm of your hand.
