Our team will work with you to maintain your herd’s health and achieve your goals.
Mastitis investigations
Mastitis can have serious consequences, not just for your milk check but also for cow productivity and fertility, antibiotic usage and your own time and budget.
There is a long list of bacteria that can cause mastitis and an even longer list of treatment and management options.
Trying to focus on all areas of udder health with equal importance can be tiring and expensive, but investigating the underlying issues can help to focus your efforts on the area where you are going to see the most improvement.
The results of the investigation and the following plan to reduce mastitis will be different based on the cause of the mastitis, herd numbers, type of system, even the goal and financial limitations.
Our vets will work with you to help put a plan in place that suits your farm’s system.
As the plan progresses, we can help to monitor performance data, amend areas that aren’t working according to plan and support you in making decisions to achieve your goals.
Genomics and genetic testing
Using genomics to make breeding decisions is one way of improving your herd genetics and health traits.
We can genetically test your replacement stock and use this information to make breeding decisions.
This can lead to improvements in milk fat and protein, reduce lameness and mastitis as well as improving the genetic merit of your herd.
