Dairy calves are the future of the milking herd and hold a lot of unrealised potential which can be lost through disease and mortality. At Belle Vue Vets we think protecting calf health and welfare are critical for a modern dairy farm to achieve its aims. As such we provide a range of youngstock services:

• The Healthy calf checklist provides a framework for assessing calf health and accommodation against recognised industry gold standards, allowing focused advice to be given. 

• Colostrum assessment – blood sampling calves between 24 hours and 7 days old will allow us to assess how successful your colostrum administration is.

• Disease investigations and advice, creating bespoke plans to prevent diseases that are prevalent on your farm.

• Lab services including worm eggs counts and scour sample testing.

• Growth rate monitoring through regular vet tech led weighing visits.
