Having a healthy herd is crucial to your farm or ranch operations. And that’s when having a dedicated bovine veterinarian team on your side becomes incredibly important. Not only does this make it easy to get in touch with a veterinary professional when you need it, but it is also especially helpful when a cow goes into labor in the middle of the night or your favorite steer starts acting a little off due to dietary issues. Let our team at Veterinary Associates of Manning help you with all aspects of general medicine including examinations, reproduction management, preventative care, and so much more.
General Medicine for Bovine
Taking care of cows isn’t always as easy as most farmers and ranchers would like it to be. When a respiratory disease hits or your herd becomes heat stressed, it becomes time to make crucial decisions that require immediate and knowledgeable care.
However, having a trusted bovine veterinarian like Dr. Struve available to help when needed is a crucial part of the process. Our team can assist with a variety of general medicine tasks, such as individual exams, milk cultures, lab testing, and much more. Whether your herd is a single heifer or a hundred head, we can help ensure they’re all as healthy as possible.
Preventative Veterinary Care for Cattle and Dairy Cows
As with most large animals, there is a fair amount of preventative care that goes into keeping cattle and dairy cows healthy. Routine vaccinations, monitoring of overall health, nutritional counseling, and other related tasks all work to ensure the animal is healthy enough for meeting herd goals.
For those with breeding programs, having our team on board is critical. Both steers and heifers need to be monitored on a regular basis for overall fitness for reproduction. During the breeding process, Dr. Struve can also assist with other tasks including ultrasounds, diagnostic tests, and other crucial aspects of bovine wellness.
