CMC
CMC (“Colostrum Monte Carlo”) is a desktop computer simulation that accurately predicts the transfer of passive immunity in newborn dairy calves. This tool will help researchers, advisers, and dairy producers better manage a farm’s colostrum feeding progam.
**** Please NOTE: CMC is currently under construction… please bear with us as we complete overall development! ****

The Back Story
New developments in our understanding of colostrum feeding and its importance to calf health identify a need to improve how we plan and implement farm-level colostrum feeding programs. The team at Calf Notes Consulting identified a need to improve how we think and plan to feed calves.
CMC Development
The CMC software use a “Monte Carlo” simulation technique to simulate the uptake of immunoglobulins in colostrum by the newborn calf. See how Jim and the team at Calf Notes Consulting developed the idea behind the technology and how it was implemented into the software. See what features are available.
