A little update from our St Columb office! 🛠️

Good evening everyone,

Apologies for the short notice, but our St Columb office is having a little TLC, with a well-deserved lick of paint and a general tidy-up!

As a result, the office will be closed from Friday 13th November for approximately two weeks while the essential work takes place.

Don't worry though, we're still very much here for you! Our reception team will be working from our Bodmin office, and our phone lines will remain open as usual.

We'll also be doing our best to minimise any disruption by continuing to offer:
🐴 Pre-arranged visits – your vet will meet you at St Columb as planned.
💊 Medication collections – available from our lock box, with advance ordering.
📞 Reception support – just give our friendly team a call on 01208 228081.

We apologise for any inconvenience and really appreciate your patience and understanding while we give our St Columb office a little refresh.

Thank you for your continued support!

The Kernow Equine Team 💚

We will remember them all – every person and every animal who made the ultimate sacrifice in times of war. Their courage, loyalty and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Lest we forget. ❤️

🐄 Winter housing season is here!

As livestock move indoors, now is the ideal time to review your indoor biosecurity measures.

Simple steps can help reduce disease risks:
✅ Secure feed stores from wildlife
✅ Keep water troughs clean and well maintained
✅ Check buildings for gaps where wildlife may enter
✅ Minimise opportunities for indirect contact between cattle and wildlife

Good biosecurity isn't about doing everything at once. Small changes can make a big difference.

🎃 COMPETITION TIME! 🎃

Well, Halloween is upon us already! 👻

We've been super busy recently and haven't quite found the time to carve pumpkins into amusing (or scary!) creations.

However, we have managed to have a little giggle watching one of our colleagues trying out their outfit for their weekend shenanigans! 😂

So, here's your challenge...

Can you guess who is hiding behind the pumpkin outfit? 🎃

First person to comment correct, you'll be in with a chance of winning a lovely box of sweets! 🍬🍫

Answers on a postcard to the KFE offices at St Columb or Bodmin... 😁 or, to make life easier, simply pop your guess in the comments below!

Good luck everyone! 😁

Last week, Becca, together with Melissa from Kenwyn Vets, attended BCVA Congress in Telford.
They presented two posters which they and Maia, also from Kenwyn Vets, have produced, with assistance from Tracy and with sponsorship and support from Zoetis.

The posters, titled 'Practical outcomes of a CIDR sync program in dairy heifers' and 'Challenges faced by farmer and veterinary surgeon when CIDR syncing heifers,' are based on work done over the last 12 months on Kernow and Kenwyn farms. It involved CIDR syncing heifers and assessing if conception rates were comparable, and examining why conception rates may be different from expected.
It was found that the use of a CIDR sync protocol in older heifers can still be an effective approach to improving reproductive management, but is not a substitute for good breeding decision-making. By using a CIDR sync protocol and fixed-time AI, labour is reduced—there is no need for oestrus detection, and breeding can be organised around a specific date.

Thank you to all the farms who participated.
