A farm check-list is introduced in the present paper. For each month several points requiring attention are stated, which are of importance in herd health and production control on dairy farms from both both a veterinary and an agricultural point of view. A short explanation is given if necessary. To achieve optimum efficiency in herd health and production control, it is essential that communication between veterinarian and agricultural extension officer should function adequately. Advice from the two disciplines to the dairy farmer should be non-contradictory.
