Our large animal veterinarians’ partner with you to build practical, preventive herd health programs that improve productivity, fertility, and overall performance in cattle, goats, sheep, and pigs.
From vaccination protocols and deworming schedules to pregnancy checks and emergency care, our goal is to keep your herd healthy, efficient, and profitable year‑round.
Customized Herd Health Programs
Every operation is different, which is why we design custom herd health plans based on your herd size, production goals, facilities, and budget. We focus on disease prevention and early detection to reduce losses and minimize treatment costs.
A typical herd health program can include:
Annual and seasonal herd visits
Strategic deworming and parasite control plans
Vaccination schedules tailored to age, class, and local disease risk
Nutritional and mineral recommendations to support fertility and growth
Record‑keeping guidance to track herd performance and health history
We work with both commercial and purebred herds and can coordinate visit timing around working pens, weaning, and breeding seasons.
Vaccination and Parasite Control
Well‑designed vaccination programs and parasite control are the backbone of effective herd health. Our veterinarians will review your current protocols and help you update them to reflect the latest recommendations and local disease pressures.
Services include:
- Core and optional vaccines for cattle, goats, sheep, and pigs
- Calf, kid, lamb, and piglet vaccination series
- Strategic deworming plans based on pasture management and fecal testing
- External parasite control for flies, lice, ticks, and other pests
By timing vaccines and deworming correctly, you can protect young animals, reduce illness, and improve weight gain and overall herd performance.
Reproductive Services and Pregnancy Checks
Reproductive efficiency drives profitability in any herd. Dublin Veterinary Clinic PC offers a range of reproductive and pregnancy services to help you reach your breeding and calving/kidding/lambing goals.
Reproductive herd services may include:
- Pregnancy diagnosis (palpation and/or ultrasound where appropriate)
- Breeding soundness exams for bulls and bucks
- Heat synchronization protocols
- Calving, lambing, and kidding support and dystocia assistance
Identifying open females, subfertile males, or birthing issues early helps you make better culling and management decisions.
