an educaonal video: cal poly dairy calf management procedures

The video process began with mee4ng Rich Silacci and included input from the Dairy Science Department and student peers in the Dairy Calf Management Enterprise. Ren4ng a video camera at the Cal Poly Technology Center was necessary to film live footage and moving shots of newborn calves. Filming the actual process was vital. Once born, the calf remained with its mother un4l all camera equipment and seFngs were adjusted and set up. AIer 30 minutes, the calf was moved to a separate pen, and mother was moved into the hospital pen to be taken care of and milked. Filming took place as the calf underwent vaccina4ng, navel dipping and ear tagging. The video also shows how to make sure the calf has a warm bed of straw and instructs to put a frozen bag of colostrum in the pasteurizer (UMass, 2016). Video compila4on was the last step of methodology. All footage was downloaded onto a USB and uploaded to a reliable desktop. Disregarded video segments without purpose and place significant footage out in the correct order of calf care steps. Ligh4ng, voice recording and fluidity of the selected videos were important factors to consider for quality video comple4on (Fauer, 2001). All video footage was imported to iMovie and edited un4l a desired video was obtained. The completed tutorial and instruc4onal video was exported to .mov compa4ble file type and shared with the enterprise advisor so future Dairy Calf Management enterprise classes can learn from it. Method An Educa4onal Video: Cal Poly Dairy Calf Management Procedures Ka4e Vierra & Anthony Ferdinandi Successfully raising dairy calves is not only 4me consuming, it also contributes to the future of the herd. There are several factors contribu4ng to dairy calf management immediately aIer birth and onward, important to properly care for a cow and calf. Knowing what issues to address in what order becomes cri4cal. Students oIen lack confidence in comple4ng the tasks required, including the type of colostrum that is fed, medica4ons needed, and overall proper nutri4on. These factors make for a healthy survival rate in dairy calves (Penn, 2016). Currently, the Animal Science Department at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, offers a Dairy Calf Enterprise. This enterprise allows students to get hands-on experience with the newborn calves and requires immediate aên4on to procedures instantly aIer a calf is born. The purpose of this project is to produce an instruc4onal video regarding Dairy Calf Management. Introduc4on The outcome of this educa4onal video proved successful. Research was conducted to understand the crucial steps for dairy calf management and it was important to advocate to students the importance of proper dairy calf management. Students were educated on the processes and procedures needed for a future healthy herd. Essen4ally, a tutorial video was created where students will have the opportunity to watch and learn the step-by-step process of dairy calf management at the Cal Poly Dairy. A downloadable tutorial video file that gives students the opportunity to go back and view it if they are unclear on certain procedures will be provided to students enrolled in the course. Changes to enhance video quality would be to incorporate other video equipment such as a stabilizer, tripod and microphone. Addi4onal modifica4ons include using Final Cut Pro for a more detailed video edi4ng system instead of iMovie. Furthermore, adding more video footage of mul4ple calves being born could solidify essen4al handling procedures as well as taking into considera4on the procedures of managing a bull calf. Lastly, improving the video quality by a higher resolu4on camera and a beêr video edi4ng system would be impera4ve. The Dairy Calf Management video will be made available online. The professor of the Dairy Calf Enterprise will be in possession of the video in order to aid students to visually understand how the process of calf management should be executed properly. This video is meant for instruc4onal purposes at Cal Poly, as it’s specific to the university dairy. It is not recommended to post online for public viewing.
