Farm Visit
In Ireland, vets carry out farm visits as part of Department of Agriculture animal health and welfare rules. These visits help ensure that livestock are healthy, medicines are used correctly, and farms meet legal standards.
Why Farm Visits Are Important
Animal Health
Vets check cattle and other livestock for signs of disease such as:
- TB
- Brucellosis
- Mastitis
- Lameness
Early detection helps prevent disease spreading between animals and farms.
If you are thinking of joining us as a client, a farm visit must be booked before any medication can be prescribed. This is required under Department of Agriculture and veterinary prescribing regulations in Ireland.
