NEWS 12 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE February 2026 Alltech, one of the global leaders in animal health and nutrition, in partnership with Colorado State University (CSU), announced the development of a new bilingual educational poster designed to assist the dairy industry in making informed decisions when preparing calves for transport. This resource will be available in both Spanish and English, ensuring accessibility across a diverse dairy workforce. Recognizing the critical importance of calf welfare during transit, the poster provides clear, easy-toread 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-for-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.
