Comprehensive Care for the Health and Productivity of Your Livestock
At Hooves and Paws Veterinary Clinic, we understand that your livestock isn’t just part of your livelihood—they’re part of your daily life. That’s why our herd health services are designed to help you prevent disease, increase productivity, and ensure the long-term well-being of your animals. Whether you’re managing a small herd or a large-scale operation, our veterinary team is here to support your goals with evidence-based care, personalized recommendations, and dependable service.
What Is Herd Health Management?
Herd health is a proactive, preventative approach to livestock care that focuses on the overall wellness of the group, not just individual animals. A good herd health program minimizes disease outbreaks, improves reproductive success, enhances growth rates, and increases the overall productivity and profitability of your operation.
At Hooves and Paws, we tailor herd health plans based on your herd size, species, management practices, and local risk factors. From cattle and goats to sheep and other livestock, we provide hands-on veterinary support designed to meet the unique needs of your animals and your farm.
Our Herd Health Services
We offer a full range of herd health veterinary services, including:
- Vaccination protocols to reduce disease risk and build long-term immunity
- Parasite control programs tailored to your environment and herd
- Nutrition and feed evaluations to support healthy weight gain and optimal performance
- Reproductive evaluations and breeding soundness exams
- Calving and lambing support, including dystocia management and newborn care
- Disease outbreak investigation and control plans
- Veterinary consultation and recordkeeping for health tracking and compliance
- Biosecurity recommendations to protect your herd from external threats
By combining preventive care with timely diagnostics and treatment, we help you stay ahead of problems before they affect your bottom line.
Why Herd Health Is Essential
Preventing illness in livestock is far more effective—and cost-efficient—than treating it after the fact. Poor herd health can result in decreased weight gain, poor reproductive performance, higher mortality rates, and significant financial loss.
With proper herd health management:
- Disease outbreaks can be minimized or avoided altogether
- Fertility and calving success can be improved
- Antibiotic use can be reduced through better prevention
- Your operation stays compliant with industry regulations and animal welfare standards
Whether you’re focused on meat, milk, or breeding, herd health protects the animals and investments that keep your operation running.
