Here we have our vet Gabe suturing up a vaginal tear after calving

Sometimes during a challenging calving there can be damage to the reproductive tract, which can cause infections or affect the cow's fertility in the future. however, if addressed early it can be possible to repair minor damage which will help speed up recovery after birth. This heifer is back in the milking herd and is doing well 🐄

Last week our vet Rosana repaired an umbilical hernia on this little Holstein heifer under general anesthesia

A hernia is a birth defect in the body wall that occurs when the umbilical ring fails to close after birth. This can allow contents from the abdomen to bulge through, which can cause problems as the calf grows

The surgery went smoothly and the calf is recovering well! ðŸĐđ

Pre-movement testing rules for movements of Bluetongue (BTV) susceptible animals out of the Restricted Zone (RZ) have been extended from 15 May and now apply until 12 June 2025, unless notified otherwise.

Some animals are exempt from pre-movement testing. Higher risk animals must still be tested. For all moves out of the RZ you will still need to apply for a specific licence.

The length of time that pre-movement test samples are valid is also changing from 21 days to 10 days, from 27 May 2025. Samples taken:

â€Ē until 23:59pm on 26 May 2025 are valid for 21 days
â€Ē on or after 27 May 2025 are valid for 10 days.

You must time your sampling so that samples are valid on the planned move date.

Please check the guidance on GOV.UK for further information at:

Patent urachus in a lamb

This little lamb needed to have surgery to correct a patent urachus, which means that the passageway between the bladder and the umbilical cord fails to close normally after birth. This means that urine continues to leak from the umbilical stump. This can lead to irritation and possible infection, so the decision was made to take him to theatre. Stay tuned for the surgical photos and post op!
