Peter the Piglet was born with a large hernia on the side of his abdomen. He came in for it to be closed under general anaesthetic. As it is likely to be congenital and, therefore, a chance of being passed on to offspring, he was castrated at the same time. We hope he makes a swift recovery.🐖🐖

#ballsoffmonday This morning, Abi C went out to castrate Jeff the goat. As you can see, he didn’t look too impressed but once he’s recovered he can go back to his ladies again!

2024 what a year you’ve been! A massive thank you to our amazing farmers for your support this year! Let’s make 2025 a good one! HAPPY NEW YEAR❤️❤️🎉🎉

On call vet Petra had a busy weekend, one of the calls was a calf with a broken leg. After examination she splinted the leg with the cast. He was back running around being a happy calf in no time! #calfhealth #delawarefarmvets #youngstock #farming

What can you do to prevent calf pneumonia in your herd? Here are our top 10 tips! Give us a call if you are concerned about your calves.🐮 #delawarefarmvets #farming #farmlife #Farm #calf #calfhealth #youngstock #calves

The hard truth about Johne's disease is that there is no treatment available to infected cattle. Any cattle showing signs of the disease should be tested, any testing positive should be culled. Offspring of any cattle found to be infected should also be traced and tested as there is a high chance of them also being infected. Once your herd is confirmed to be Johne's free, make sure to maintain high biosecurity precautions to limit the chance of it being reintroduced to the herd. If you would like any more information on Johne's disease or how to increase your biosecurity levels, give the team a call and we will be happy to discuss this with you.
