Proactive health and production management is our aim. We are heavily involved in all aspects of herd and flock management, comprising regular fertility visits, preventative medicine planning, detailed computer analysis, Red Tractor and many other farm assurance schemes. Our range of services exist to suit individual needs.
We run extensive investigations into dairy cow, suckler, bull, ram and ewe fertility. Services range from semen assessment, to cow/ewe reproductive health and in-depth data analysis. The combination of statistics, lab samples, client discussion and preventative medicine allows us to make huge inroads into our clients’ fertility challenges.
Our vets use a combination of team discussion, milk sampling, statistical analysis and dynamic parlour testing to address mastitis challenges. We work closely with our farmers on this and many other topics. Best results are achieved as a team. Ask us about our dynamic parlour testing, its amazing what you might learn about your own parlour!
Lameness in cattle and small ruminants is a huge welfare and production concern. Mount Vets work collaboratively with farmers and foot-trimmers to tackle this challenge. Regular courses and continued support is available to farmers looking to take on their own foot trimming, or just sharpen their skills.
A good start to life is the key to success. The practice offers guidance on all aspects of youngstock rearing, from disease control to nutrition. We are also proud to support a thriving youngstock focus group for our farmers.
The practice prides itself on a long history of providing training courses, with members of the team receiving awards and external recognition for their teaching. The breadth of courses is vast and growing.
