BEEF AND DAIRY CATTLE FARMS

BEEF AND DAIRY CATTLE FARMS

Whether you operate a large or small beef or dairy cattle unit or you transport cattle, you will want them to be as fit and healthy as possible. Disease outbreaks among farm animals can cause significant economic losses.

The modern farmer works closely with the veterinary surgeons to prevent disease in their livestock. Veterinary medicines such as wormers and vaccines are an important part of the farm’s toolkit, but as the use of products such as antibiotics becomes more restricted, preventative measures such vaccination and biosecurity become more important.

At Hysolv International, we are constantly updating and improving our products to help you achieve the best care possible. You can see the current range of products further down this page. They help to control and prevent:

Viral, Fungal and Bacterial Infections

There are a large number of common infectious diseases in cattle. Some of these include E.Coli, Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens type C, Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR)/Infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IPV Campylobacter infection (Vibriosis), Rotavirus, Coronavirus (common in calves), Bovine Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV), Cryptosporidium parvum, Eimeria spp. Coccidiosis, Mucosal Disease (MD), Bovine Influenza, S.aureus, S.faecium, Lactobacillus, P.aeruginosa, Citrobacter , Candida albicans, Mastitis and Giardia. As well as the more common diseases the (thankfully) rarer ones such as Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) can also be controlled using biosecurity measures including disinfection.

Regular cleaning and disinfection of buildings, equipment, calving units, yards and transport vehicles is vital to help prevent and control the infections. The use of footbaths and regular hand and water sanitation are also extremely valuable resources in combatting infections.

The average cow produces 3.5 gallons (13.2 litres) of urine daily and 65 lbs. (29.5 kg) of manure daily; that's 12 tons (908 kg) a year. A cow can defecate up to 15 times a day attracting flies that spread disease. It is therefore not surprising that cleaning and disinfection are so important to the health of your cattle. Young animals are usually more at risk from disease than the adults and this is certainly the case in cattle. Cryptosporidium is a common problem that can be helped by using an appropriate disinfectant.

Hysolv International can help; we have a wide range of cleaners, disinfectants, hand sanitisers and water sanitisers some of which are organic. Please see the list below.

Insects

Insects such as Horn fly, Stable fly and Face fly can be more than just a nuisance; they can be responsible for a range of problems including the transmission of bacterial infections. As well as controlling your yard to reduce the areas where insects can breed (standing water, manure etc), Hysolv International have a selection of insecticides that can be used to control the presence of, and protect your cattle from, insects.

Worms

Worms of all sorts can pose a big threat to the health of your cattle and can sometimes prove fatal. As well as your regular worming treatment regime, we have products that can be used in buildings, transport vehicles and yards to help you to control worms such as Tapeworm, Roundworm, Lungworm and brown stomach worm (Ostertagia ostertagi). The combined use of disinfectants to kill the infectious stage of worms, and wormers to treat infected animals, helps stop the cycle of reinfection that makes worm control so difficult.
