Our vet tech can visit your farm to discuss the various alternative fly control methods, including the use of fly parasites, baited bucket traps and boards loaded with pheromone attractants.
Vet techs, in collaboration with your vet, can help to design a tailor-made package that suits your farm requirements.
Our vet tech is trained according to RoMS standards to assess the levels of mobility of all cows in your herd.
A report is produced at the end of each session to detail the levels of sound/imperfect cows, as well as the progress since the last assessment, making it easy to identify problem cows for corrective foot trimming and treatment.
This service is not only useful to fulfill milk contract requirements, but it also allows you to reduce mobility problems in your herd which will aid cow performance and productivity.
Our vet tech is trained to assess the body condition score of your herd in a consistent way.
This can help to monitor changes that impact on health and fertility, flagging up individual cows of concern. We can make regular visits to the farm at intervals of six weekly to quarterly.
In addition to body condition scoring, we also offer a teat scoring service, which will flag up cows of concern and potentially highlight parlour performance issues if there is consistent teat damage.
The vet tech will do this in the parlour during milking, or at a time which is convenient to you.
