Feedlot Management Services

The continued profitable success of a modern feedlot is dependent on a combination of a number of factors:

  • good management;
  • a favourable economic climate;
  • relative freedom from epidemics of disease;
  • changes in the costs of inputs such as feed;
  • changes in the price received for the final product.

We understand that your business success is heavily dependent on each person in the team, including the cattle buyer, the animal attendants, the nutritional consultant, the veterinarian, and the manager of the feedlot, assuming their individual responsibilities and doing the best work possible.

We take our role very seriously.

We also understand that in a feedlot situation, veterinarians will deal with a broad concept of disease and not restrict the definition to simply sick animals. All of the identifiable factors that result in suboptimal performance are a part of a good health management system. These include inadequacies in the feeds and feeding systems, the purchase of undesirable types of cattle, and clinical and subclinical disease in the clinical sense.

Individual animals form the basis of a healthy and profitable production system.

Call us and we can provide a Management Programme that will lower disease incidence and outbreaks and will promptly limit economic losses and help achieve a profitable production system.
