Preventive Health & Wellness
Prevention is essential to maintaining a healthy, thriving herd. Our preventive services for small ruminants include regular wellness exams, vaccinations, and deworming protocols tailored to each animal’s specific environment and risk factors. By monitoring and preventing common health issues, we help ensure your animals remain healthy and reduce the risk of illness spreading within the herd.
Nutritional Counseling & Herd Management
Small ruminants require carefully balanced diets to support their health, productivity, and reproductive success. We provide personalized nutritional counseling to address the specific dietary needs of sheep, goats, and other small ruminants, taking into account factors like age, production goals, and environmental conditions. Our team can also assist with herd management strategies, offering guidance on best practices to optimize herd health, breeding, and overall performance.
Parasite Control & Disease Prevention
Parasites are a common challenge for small ruminants, with the potential to impact overall health, growth, and productivity. We offer comprehensive parasite control plans, including regular fecal testing and tailored deworming protocols to manage parasite loads effectively. Our approach to disease prevention includes routine screenings and targeted vaccinations to minimize risks of illnesses that can affect both individual animals and herds.
Reproductive Health & Breeding Support
Reproductive health is a key component of small ruminant management, whether you’re maintaining a family herd or breeding livestock for production. Our reproductive services include breeding soundness exams, pregnancy testing, and support for successful birthing. With our guidance, we aim to help you achieve strong, healthy offspring and manage the reproductive health of your herd with confidence.
Hoof Care & Lameness Prevention
Proper hoof care is vital to the well-being and productivity of small ruminants. We offer hoof trimming services and guidance to prevent and treat common hoof issues, such as foot rot and lameness.
