What
can your rural vet do for you ?
Cattle need to be handled in
a well constructed crush
(race)
Animals should be kept calm
in the holding pens. The
animals should not be
overcrowded.
A cattle crush for adult
cattle should not exceed an
internal width of 70cm.
Exceeding this results in
cattle being able to turn
around. This often leads to
cattle falling, which may
result in injuries and
sometimes even deaths
possibly resulting from
this.
Unique individual
identification is very
important for accurate
record keeping and financial
control.
In livestock farming it is critical to have
groups of uniform female animals. Heifers should
be of uniform weight and age in order to
increase reproduction efficacy, nutritional and
medicinal management.
