Better weight gains at calf disbudding

Bookings for calf disbudding have now started for the ‘early birds’
All calves disbudded by MVS are given local anaesthetic to desensitize the site where heat is applied to the horn bud
Further research shows the value of managing pain post-disbudding once the local aneasthetic wears off
Calves treated with Metacam 20 (an anti-inflammatory) are 6.5 kg heavier than calves that have not been treated when weighed over a 10-day period

LESS PAIN = LESS STRESS = BETTER APPETITES = BETTER WEIGHT GAINS

Phone the clinic now to book in your calf disbudding, +/- Metacam 20 +/- 7 in 1 vaccination on 07 888 8197.
