Livestock Veterinary Services for Cattle, Goats and Sheep
Cattle, goats and sheep are an investment and, for many families, a livelihood. Disease, parasites and poor nutrition can reduce growth, fertility and milk production long before an animal looks obviously sick.
AVERA Veterinary Healthcare helps livestock keepers diagnose and treat illness, plan vaccinations, control ticks and worms and improve feeding and husbandry. Our advice is practical and takes account of the resources available on your farm.
What the service covers
What our livestock service covers
Clinical assessment
Examination of sick animals and review of the herd's history to reach a working diagnosis.

Vaccination planning
Vaccination plans suited to the species you keep and the disease risks in your area.

Parasite-control programmes that protect productivity and slow the development of drug resistance.

Nutrition and husbandry
Advice on feeding, housing and management, including the use of locally available feed materials.
Who it is for
Who this service is for
- Smallholder farmers keeping goats and sheep.
- Cattle owners and commercial livestock farms.
- Farmers dealing with disease outbreaks, poor growth or reproductive problems.
- Livestock keepers who want a parasite-control or vaccination plan for their herd.
Why it matters
Why herd health planning matters
Some livestock diseases spread rapidly through a herd and between farms. Vaccination, good parasite control and early veterinary attention help limit losses and protect neighbouring farms.
Several conditions of livestock can also affect people, and animal products enter the food chain. Responsible treatment and correct use of medicines support food safety and public health as well as animal welfare.

Questions
Livestock Veterinary Services: common questions
Do you treat goats and sheep as well as cattle?
Yes. We provide veterinary care for cattle, goats and sheep, including disease management, vaccination planning, parasite control and nutrition advice.
Can you set up a tick and worm control programme for my farm?
Yes. We can assess your herd and grazing situation and recommend a parasite-control programme that suits your animals and helps reduce the risk of drug resistance.
Do you visit livestock farms?
Farm visits and livestock health consultations can be arranged, subject to availability and location. Contact us to discuss your needs.
What should I do if several animals fall sick at once?
Contact us promptly. Where possible, separate sick animals from the rest of the herd, restrict movement of animals on and off the farm and avoid treating without advice until the cause has been assessed.
