Herd Health Plans

Herd Health plans are now common place among the farming profession in the UK.

These plans are designed to maximise the health, welfare and productivity of your herd. A plan is only as good as the action taken as suggested in the plan. We aim to look at your whole herd plan on a 365 day schedule, to maximise the productivity and reduce disease processes associated with your herd.

Simple plans are sometimes as effective as highly detailed schedules, and we try to minimise paperwork but look at what you want form your herd and try to maximise the potential profit from your enterprise.

This may involve looking at herd fertility, or pnuemonia, or scour in calves, or whatever problem you believe important to your individual farm.

There are schemes available for 2009 which will assist in the financial cost of herd health planning and more details are available form the surgery.

This can be done where necessary in our own laboratory, or using local accredited laboratories.
