Cattle Veterinary Services

Anexa vets are here to work with you to ensure your compliance needs are met.

Parasites – the word itself indicates they are unwanted guests, they reduce live weight gain by reducing the animal’s ability to absorb nutrients. They can also cause your cattle a lot of discomfort. Anexa Vets can create parasite programmes specific to your farm. We can also check that your drench is working, ensuring your dollars are well spent.

Ensure that your vaccinations are done at the right time to protect your herd, ask about a vaccination programme. Popular vaccines include BVD, leptospirosis, clostridial (6 in 1), IBR and Rotovax.

Having what you need on hand during calving is important. Anexa stocks the products you need, and if you need a hand 

It is important to have the right minerals to ensure that your cattle grow at the right rates and get in calf. Anexa Vets recommend testing your herd annually. We can organise a management plan to help you streamline your animal health treatments for optimal performance. 

Is feed always tight in the Winter or Summer? Knowing what feed will be available over tight periods, in advance, allows you to make management decisions sooner rather than later. Buying feed before prices rise, selling excess stock, putting on some nitrogen are some of the options when you know feed will run out. Making these decisions ahead of a feed pinch will not only save you money but will prevent a dip in productivity. We can develop a simple feed budget for you, covering short ‘feed pinch’ periods or longer eg ‘over winter’ periods.

Using Farmax Pro we can load your farm information onto the software which then gives you the ability to record all liveweights, sales, and productivity figures. This allows you to perform accurate feed budgeting and test management decisions to see the impact on production and profit. This way you can understand exactly how your farm is performing, and can act early to stay on target. The software produces customised reports for consultants, bank managers, and staff.

Body condition scoring is becoming increasingly recognised as a quick and easy way to assess the condition of your stock and alter feeding accordingly. This practical skill takes less than 20 minutes to pick up if there is a group of mixed condition animals to learn from. We are available to train all farm staff on this procedure.

We know that good animal health involves more than veterinary medicine alone.  Our sales support team can answer any questions you may have, and arrange for your products to be delivered on-farm.
