Dairy
 

Our large animal veterinarians and support crew are dedicated to helping farmers maximise the profitability of their on- farm endeavours. Our clinics have a strong dairy focus, with an aim to provide gold standard service and advice. We have a great crew of vets ready to examine your sick animals and carry out routine jobs, as well as trained Incalf, Healthy Hoof, Mastitis Investigation, and Nutritional advisors. With the new Infovet computer system we can offer aged pregnancy testing on dairy cows, as well as detailed analysis of reproductive performance, mastitis, and production.

Feel free to contact us if you are moving into the area, converting, or simply looking for more in-depth advice and a greater relationship with your veterinarian. 



December Monthly Reminders

  • Herds identified with high/toxic copper levels last Autumn should be liver biopsied again in December

  • Ensure sufficient bulls to follow up AI. The recommendation is to have 1 bull for every 30 cows not pregnant to AI in the herd at ALL times

  • Remove and treat lame bulls, and ensure they are replaced to ensure adequate bull cover

  • Early pregnancy testing of non-return cows 35-40 days post-insemination to detect and treat phantom cows

  • Remove bulls from heifers after an 8-9 week mating period

  • Replace the milking liners

  • Drop off milk samples for culture if you are having mastitis issues

  • Renew your Leptocred accreditation if required
