Melanoma in Cattle – Successful Tumour Removal 🐮

This calf presented with two large lumps on its flank that had been slowly growing. Recently, they started getting knocked and irritated, so surgical removal was the best course of action.

The tumours had a black, oily appearance, indicating they were most likely melanomas—a type of skin cancer. Thankfully, surgical removal is almost always curative in cases like this, ensuring a great outcome for the calf!

Pictured is our vet student Cassia holding one of the tumours post-removal.

A job well done by The Farm Vet Services team! 👏

It may look like a lump of snot, but this wee article is a teat pea.

It is generally made up of granulation tissue, which accumulates after injury to the teat and shears of to form a mass which can move up and down inside the teat canal. It's readily palpable within the teat.

Ring block with procaine and a well-fed farmer on the tail usually prevents the cow trying to shake hands. Then, what I normally do is work the pea to the bottom of the teat and try to extract with small forceps.

It's nice to get it in one piece, but often, it's several small bits.

As featured in the Farmers Journal—this is a game changer for young calves! Until now, there was no vaccine available to help control Mycoplasma bovis, a key cause of pneumonia. With 45% of Irish dairy herds testing positive on bulk milk serology, protecting your calves has never been more important.

Zoetis Protivity™ helps protect your dairy calves against respiratory disease caused by Mycoplasma bovis when they’re most vulnerable.

Here’s a little sneak peek at what they got up to—those stitching skills are sew impressive! 🪡

🌿🐄 Spring Calving Season is Here! 🐄🌿

🪣🔋 Farm-O-San Reviva 🔋🪣

Help your freshly calved cows bounce back faster with Farm-O-San Reviva—the key to rapid rehydration and recovery this calving season.

During calving, cows lose water, electrolytes, and calcium, which can leave them weak and off their feed. Reviva is a highly palatable, energy-rich drink that replenishes these essential nutrients, supporting recovery and encouraging dry matter intake.

💪 Give your cows the best start post-calving! 💪
