ICORE Operational Group: Innovation project in the control of calf rearing

The proposed Innovation Project aims to develop a methodology and a series of tools to improve the profitability of cattle farms in the Principality of Asturias by generating added value in suckling calves that will not be reared on the farms themselves.

To this end, the project proposes optimizing management protocols on the farms of origin, transferring them to a specialized center where disease incidence is monitored, and nutritional and health management is supervised by a team of professionals using innovative techniques for early diagnosis and monitoring development and health status.

This would ensure that sales to fattening farms are made once the animals have reached the development and health standards required by the market.
