Effective animal health programme a good investment

Most livestock are now on grass for one or two months so it is a good time to monitor animals and review parasite control plans in particular.

After all no matter how good the price is for calves, cattle, lambs or milk, poor health will impact on performance in your herd or flock and consequently on farm incomes.

So an effective animal health programme is a good investment and can be very cost effective. It should include good biosecurity, first class hygiene and appropriate dosing and vaccination strategies as advised by your local vet.
