Veterinary Care During Milking Season


During the milking season, milking cows are constantly being checked and monitored by dairy farmers and farm workers. The cows will require extra care and attention during this important time in their physiological cycle. A complete and balanced diet, comfortable living conditions, and pro-active veterinary care are part and parcel of sound milking cow management.

There will be regular veterinary visits to check the entire herd and monitor the wellness of the animals. Vaccinations should be up to date and any sign of illness should be promptly treated.

Cows are no different than other animals that are kept as pets. They sometimes become ill and will need appropriate medical care. Any cow that receives treatment will be separated from the healthy cows and won’t be back into the herd until her milk tests free of antibiotics.

If you have any concerns and/or questions about a cow’s health and/or behavior, contact your large animal veterinarian Westminster, MD.
