Westover Large Animal helps farms small and large maintain the health of their herds that balances compassionate care with sensible pricing. From preventative measures to medical treatment, we keep Norfolk’s farm animals healthier.
Our team of vets have a wealth of experience dealing with a huge diversity of farms including dairy, beef and sheep, all with different expectations and requirements from their livestock. We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach is misguided and what farmers need is flexible, tailored advice, specific to the farm.
We aim to provide the best value and quality adopting a holistic approach that takes into consideration, not just the livestock, but the people and environment in which they are farmed. Livestock are often part of a much bigger farming business and helping farmers to integrate the animals with different sectors such as arable, woodland, or tourism to maximise performance is a key focus.
We place heavy emphasis on herd/flock planning (typically called ‘health planning’ although it encompasses much more than health) and follow up on these plans with interventions through the year, including, where appropriate:
- Fertility assessment/manipulation, pregnancy scanning and AI
- Infectious disease control and prevention
- Foot health
- Parasite assessment, control and prevention
- Genetic trait assessment
- Feed analysis, ration formulation and metabolic testing
- Performance monitoring and data analysis.
However, we also understand that livestock don’t always read the manual and things can go wrong to anybody, so provide 24-7 cover for any emergencies. We also provide next-day medicine deliveries direct to farm, helping save you time for more important things.
