Young Stock Monitoring Service

Jun 30, 2015 | Dairy, Young Stock

Your goal is to get healthy, in-calf heifers returning to the home farm.

Anexa FVC’s Young Stock Monitoring Service can help you achieve this. 

 

WHAT’S INVOLVED? 


Planning Session: together we develop a young stock plan for 20 months. A quick 30 minute appointment with your local vet will provide you with an Animal Health Plan for your young stock stating your goals clearly for your grazier. 

Ongoing Service: we will work with the grazier and owner to implement the plan, including: 

  • Weigh heifers every 2 months and formulate a weight report for the grazier and owner; We have a portable weigh station, so the grazier only needs to get the heifers into the yards.
  • Vaccination against lepto and clostridia (2 vaccinations as a calf and a yearly booster); 
    Regular, targeted drenching; and Trace element supplementation as required (e.g. Copper, Selenium, B12.
