We assisted 9 cows this spring and dealt with an acceptable level of RFM’s. So overall I’m fairly happy. Just wondered how others were getting on in regards a ppl level.On balance, do you think your vet spend is 'acceptable' given the condition/health of your cows, your system and your youngstock? Plus/minus calving incidents (outcomes) etc?
I have been on farms where they complain their spend with the vet is massive and yet they don't seem to equate that with hygiene in the parlour, foot bathing or the state of the cubicle house/beds? I mean you can't just do nothing and expect 100% results regardless?
Always looking to improve in every aspect tbh
couple things I have thought about switching from Synulox to combiclav as it’s a cheaper drug.
if we fitted a heat detection system that would certainly save on syncing the heifers and maybe save some drugs on non cycling cows
Certainly doing our own scanning would save money too. I think the amount of cows would justify the initial outlay
