Potential Health Problems?

• Liver Fluke – Take dung samples to check
• Pneumonia – Many producers are reluctant to bring cows and calves in due to the mild weather.  Had they routinely vaccinated against pneumonia the risk would be much lower.
• Downer cows – Blood test two months pre-calving
• Lean ewes – twin lamb disease and low lambing percentages
• More joint ill, Coccidiosis from dirty bedding
