Everyone is back to work after the fun of field days last week and Mae is busy scanning heifers. We managed to fit in some mineral testing whilst on farm and got a look at an odd tumour on a tail as well!

We have had a few cases of Thiamine deficiency ("polio") recently. It often shows up when calves go from rougher pasture to better quality pasture.

Providing hay or other roughage may help prevent it, although some herds battle it every year.

Signs include blindness, wobbliness and in some cases collapse and seizures.

With prompt treatment most calves recover and in herds that suffer with it every year a preventative thiamine drench can be useful.

If you are concerned or would like more information please contact your vet.
