Scour and pneumonia are the two most common calf diseases. There are also a number of other pathogens and parasites that can pose problems for calves during rearing and during their first season at grass.

The Farm Vet team can work with you to identify any potential disease risk factors on your farm. Prevention of disease in calves should be a priority in all calf rearing. This involves measures to limit the exposure of the calf to infectious organisms while also reducing its susceptibility to infection.
