Farm Animal Department

Our goal at Cambridge Vets is to assist our clients to maximise profit through optimal animal health.
For both commercial farms and lifestyle blocks we can help with health plans, routine jobs and emergencies.
We offer value through our experienced team with extensive knowledge in all areas of production animal medicine.

LUNGWORM IS ABOUT!
We have seen a couple of outbreaks of lungworm in weaned calves recently. This photo is taken looking down the microscope at some larvae, but we have also diagnosed some by post mortem.
It can be hard to differentiate lungworm from pneumonia or fog fever, but a lungworm burden will often first produce a hecking cough with a normal temperature.
We tend to see the highest worm challenge on pastures that are just grazing young stock. It is helpful to rotate them with adult cattle or graze the aftermath of silage paddocks to reduce the risk.
Call us to discuss drench choice if you are concerned, as we are seeing multiple species of worms at this time of year.
