We provide comprehensive advice on herd health and flock health programmes and stock a full range of cattle and sheep wormers, vaccines, pour-ons and animal healthcare products which we aim to supply to our clients together with expert impartial advice on their most appropriate use. Our monthly newsletters aim to keep our clients informed on formal animal health issues and all the latest offers.
Much of the routine work on farms involves fertility work, many of our dairy farmer clients having weekly, fortnightly or monthly routine visits. We offer a full pregnancy scanning service with both battery-operated and more conventional plug-in scanners determining pregnancy from 30 days post insemination.
