Production Animal Services
Our feedlot veterinarians specialize in the health and performance of cattle in feedlots (intensive finishing systems). They play a crucial role in keeping feedlot cattle healthy, productive, and fit for market.
Their key responsibilities include:
• Disease prevention and control: Designing and monitoring vaccination, deworming, and treatment protocols for large groups of cattle.
• Health monitoring: Identifying and managing respiratory disease, lameness, and other common feedlot illnesses.
• Animal welfare: Ensuring proper handling, housing, and care practices.
• Antimicrobial stewardship: Promoting responsible use of medications to reduce resistance and meet regulatory standards.
• Performance management: Advising on nutrition, weight gain, and carcass quality to optimize production.
• Data analysis: Using health and performance records to improve outcomes and efficiency.
