A shed full of sleepy calves!

🐮Abi C and Giles did some knockdown disbuds this week at one of our dairy farms. The calves are given a jab of sedation by the vet and then a local anaesthetic block is given to numb the area.
🐮Before they are disbudded, they are also given an anti-inflammatory as pain relief.
🐮Knockdown disbuds are a cost effective, stress free technique allowing our vets and vet techs to carry out jobs that may seem like a big undertaking in a shorter amount of time.
🐮Additional jobs such as castration can also be done at the same time.

If you are interested in our stress free disbudding service, get in touch with the office!

This spring, we’ve been busy getting ahead of the flies by providing site visits to farms in partnership with Bestico. Using biological fly control such as biowasps, biomite and fly buckets can help minimise flies on farm and associated health problems. The farms who have taken part have received a bespoke fly control plan, as no farm is the same!

If you are interested in a fly control visit, it’s not too late! Get in touch and we can advise you further 🪰

The sun was shining for our Parasite Walk and Talk today! ☀️
Paul from Norbrook came to speak to a group of our farmers about strategic worm egg counting, approach to using wormers and grazing strategies. They also had a walk around a farm to discuss how they have used strategic worm egg counts over the past 5 years to save money and time, alongside reducing resistance on farm.

Big thanks to Norbrook for sponsoring and Brue Farm for hosting the event 🪱 💩
If you have any questions about our Worm Egg Count scheme or approaches to worming, please get in touch to speak with one of our vets

Over the last few days, Owain and our foot trimmers hosted a group of IVC graduate vets from across the country on a foot trimming course. They spent two days learning how to put the Dutch 5 Step technique into practice alongside going on farm walks to assess the housing and environment.

They all got stuck in and will hopefully bring their newfound skills back to their practices! 🐮
Big thanks to Wyke Farms for letting us trim the cows and hosting the group over the past two days.

Yesterday, Abi H held a meeting with some of our sheep clients about care of the newborn lamb. They covered common diseases and how to minimise lamb losses.

They were also joined by Steph from who gave a presentation on their product NoBACZ navel which has been shown to decrease lamb mortality, alongside Ambugreen- a barrier gel which has been used to treat orf. 🐑
