Up next we have Emily, our Vet Tech Manager. You might see Em out on farm at routine calf visits, herd vaccines, or mobility scoring, but this is just a part of her work at LLM. Emily lives and breaths farming, she's passionate about delivering exceptional service and is constantly helping to make improvements on farms and within the business to ensure we're doing the most we can to maximize animal health and productivity!
Fun facts - Emily spoke at the House of Lords representing UK Vet Techs, she can down a pint of milk in 6 seconds and once swam with Olympic swimmers!
Knockdown Disbuds
Stress-free disbuds! 🐮
Vet Tech Molly and Vet Sarah completed a batch of knock-down disbuds and castrates at a calf-rearing unit last week.
💤 Using sedation requires less physical restraint which is less stressful. This makes it a more positive experience for the calf and has less of an impact on growth rates.
Other routine procedures can be carried out at the same time, such as spare teat removals or castrations.
Contact the practice to book an appointment or to find out more! 📞

Pancake day
Still clearing up the pancakes from yesterday 😂
Bacteria
Did you know - alongside bacteria and fungi, there are up to 1 million protozoa in every ml of rumen fluid! They can be seen swimming under the microscope in this sample of rumen fluid taken on-farm this week.
A healthy rumen microbiome is essential for a healthy cow, as if it becomes unbalanced it may result in rumen acidosis. This may be seen as unexplained diarrhoea, a decrease in body condition, and reduced milk yield among other signs. If you're worried about acidosis in your cattle get in contact with us today!

2023 over and out! 👋
Happy New Year & all the best for 2024!
