Clinical and
sub-clinical diseases reduce productivity, so
preventing these is important in maintaining
profitability.
For example:
Visible Direct Losses - Discarded milk, drugs
and time to treat affected
stock.
Sub-Clinical Losses - Lost production
due to sub clinical mastitis is harder
to
detect but often costs an enterprise more than
clinical treatment costs.
Pain
and immobility reduce
an
animal's ability to move freely limiting feeding
and reproductive
activities, whether housed or at pasture,
resulting in lost production.
Poor
reproductive performance leads to unnecessary
animal losses and
longer rebreeding intervals.
Young
stock health and growth is crucial to ensuring
sufficient well grown
and
bred replacements.
Animal Health
and Nutrition are closely integrated as most
animal health issues have a large nutritional
component being dependant on well balanced
nutrition. Our combined skills make us ideal to
tackle all aspects of animal health and
nutrition.
