Mastitis is a costly problem.
Unsure of the best ways to prevent mastitis outbreaks?
We're here to help, call to speak to one of our vets or to arrange an investigation.
Selective Dry Cow Therapy
Reduce costs and reduce antibiotic usage with selective dry cow therapy.
Use milk records to target treatment.
If you would like to know, get in contact with our team.
Using a sealant can make a massive difference to on farm mastitis rates and udder health.
Unilateral twins at 46 days pregnant.
Contralateral twins on ultrasound at 42 days.
This means they are present in opposite horns.
An Early Embryonic Death in a 48 day old feotus
Endometritis in a Holstein calved 28days.
These cows can be 'non bullers'
Fresh cow checks allow us to pick up and correct problems early, so calving to first service targets can still be met.
Plenty of our early Lambers are already in full swing. Call in or give us a shout to get all you need, to get organised for lambing.
An ovarian abscess that was recently detected at a routine fertility scan.
Detection of problems like this early on at routine checks, allows prompt treatment.
An interesting case, that was seen at a routine fertility visit this week.
This cow has three CLs (corpus luteum) present on her ovary.
One is normal, two is seen occasionally, but three is very rare.
The CL develops after ovulation, with the role of producing progesterone to help establish and maintain a pregnancy.

Colostrum is crucial.
Calves and lambs are born with no immunity.
BRD / Pneumonia
➡️It's the biggest cause of death in calves over a month old
➡️Most cases are viral, so antibiotics are often no use.
➡️Calves can be vaccinated from birth with an intranasal.
➡️This offers 3 months protection.
➡️This can then be topped up by 2 doses of an injectable 3 weeks apart for another 6 months protection.
Prevention is always better than cure
Lung damage from BRD can lead to a lifetime of reduced productivity.
If you don't know what pathogens you have on our farm and would like to do some testing, or if you would like a vaccine plan specific to your farm, ring and speak to one of our vets.

OPA in sheep is one of the most challenging diseases.
It is a chronic wasting disease with respiratory distress.
Histology samples taken at post mortem and examined under a microscope by a pathologist is the only true diagnosis.
There is no blood test!
However ultrasound screening and post mortem examination can help you target and remove the disease from your flock.
Contact us for more details.
