The
care of the newborn calf is very important. We can advise on delivery
of the calf, how to get it breathing, correct attention to the navel
and feeding of colostrum. We may need to advise on vaccination of
the pregnant cow to ensure that colostrum will be of high quality
and nutrition of the dry cow to ensure she does not suffer milk
fever and hence not be able to feed her calf.
We
advise on the prevention and treatment of scours and can assist
to diagnose the cause of scour using our rapid laboratory
service.
We
can advise on the rearing of the calf, its feeding, housing and
methods for prevention of pneumonia. As the calf grows we will advise
on vaccination programmes, worming and fly control. We can supply
vaccines and medicines from our well equipped medicine
store to assist in the implementation of our plans.
