Time to Review your Animal Health Decisions for the Next Season

/

Challenging old habits, looking at new opportunities and rationalising what is required to ensure your livestock remain in optimal health is worth spending some time on.

We are presently conducting many animal health plan reviews on-farms. It has been pushed along somewhat by some food and fibre processors requiring a veterinary authorised animal health plan document. This aside, it is still a vital part of any farming business. We focus on what you want to focus on. Blending treatments, monitoring and performance targets to suit your program.

Topics include:

  • Targeted use of drench products.

  • How and when to monitor stock performance, drench efficacy, disease levels, mineral status.

  • Best timing of vaccines.

  • When to scan cows, test bulls, check rams, sort out dogs etc. for best results.

  • Prescription medicine review and use of antibiotics.

There have been many motivational speeches and writings on the benefits of planning.

“A person who does not plan ahead will find trouble at their door” Confucius

“Always plan for the fact that no plan ever goes according to plan” Simon Sineek

“Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first 4 sharpening the axe” A. Lincoln.

Choose one to motivate you to get your AHP sorted before scanning, fencing, shearing, lambing……. rolls around.
