Jan. 9, 2026 Source: Alltech news release LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Alltech, a global leader in animal health and nutrition, in partnership with Colorado State University (CSU), is proud to announce the development of a new bilingual educational poster designed to assist the dairy industry in making informed decisions when shipping calves prior to transportation. This resource will be available in both Spanish and English, ensuring accessibility across diverse dairy workforce. Recognizing the critical importance of calf welfare during transport, the poster provides clear, easy-to-read guidance aimed at improving communication among dairy workers and enhancing animal care standards. Its visually engaging format simplifies complex information, making it an effective tool for daily use on dairy farms. Further endorsing its quality and relevance, the poster meets FARM (Farmers Assuring Responsible Management) Animal Care calf fitness to transport protocol requirements, underscoring its alignment with industry best practices and welfare standards. "We are excited to offer a practical resource that bridges language barriers and supports better decision-making in calf transport," said Jorge Delgado, Alltech On Farm Support, People+. "By collaborating with Colorado State University and aligning with FARM program standards, we are confident this poster will have a meaningful impact on calf health and welfare throughout the dairy sector." "I am excited to partner with Alltech to provide this fitness-for-transport poster to dairy producers and calf raisers. This resource provides clear, practical guidance to inform transport decisions that prioritize calf welfare," said Dr. Catie Cramer, Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at CSU. The poster is available on the FARM website in English en-us-calf-Calf-Transport-poster-36x24-20232.pdf and in Spanish es-us-calf-Calf-Transport-poster-36x24-Spanish.pdf and will be distributed to dairy producers and workers nationwide, providing an invaluable tool to promote animal welfare and operational efficiency.
