Beef Cattle
Identifying, Preventing, and Managing Beef Cattle Diseases Â
MSD Animal Health strives to improve the health and welfare of beef cattle by working with key Veterinary Professionals and Animal Health Advisors to prevent disease, control outbreaks, and treat infected animals. Â
A Comprehensive Approach to Disease ManagementÂ
Beef cattle are often managed in more extensive systems, with lower stocking densities and less frequent handling. This can reduce the risk of some infectious diseases but may make early disease detection more challenging. Parasite control can be a significant concern in grazing systems.
We offer a wide range of market-leading vaccines, antibiotics, hormones, and other health management products and services for the beef cattle industry. This improves our farming customers’ productivity, efficiency, and sustainability.Â
Dedicated teams of veterinary surgeons, marketing professionals, and local account managers help maintain a high level of support to both veterinary practices and farmers. MSD Animal Health extends this commitment to the beef cattle industry worldwide.
This well-rounded approach aims to provide optimal support for the veterinary professionals providing care for their animals, farmers responsible for their herds, and consumers who will ultimately benefit from healthy beef food products.
VACCINES
Disease prevention for healthier herds
Vaccination, housing, hygiene and nutrition are important factors in preventing infection, improving immunity and minimizing disease risk in herds. Our portfolio of vaccines includes solutions for lung health, neonatal health, and sheep health. We also provide resources for animal well-being to keep animals free of stress and housed correctly.
Technology
Livestock identification and SenseHub® monitoring solutions
Our portfolio of technology solutions includes identification and monitoring tools that provide support across the food chain – from farmers to consumers.
With our animal behavior tracking tools, farmers are equipped with real-time actionable information to improve livestock management and productivity.
Our identification solutions make it possible for farmers to track and trace where their meat products come from – for instance, confirming if they are antibiotic free, grass-fed or organic – and help consumers make informed decisions about their purchases.
Reproduction and Udder Health
Health management to protect the livelihood of the herd
Reproductive performance and udder health are major factors affecting the production and efficiency of beef and dairy cattle operations. We have resources for farmers and producers to ensure the livelihood of their farms and production.
Parasiticides
Parasite control that improves herd well-being
Effective parasite management programs are crucial to the well-being of herds. Our solutions enable veterinarians and farmers to take a comprehensive approach to controlling endo- and ecto-parasites, including flies, ticks, lice and mites.
Conditions
As an animal health professional, recognising and managing common health conditions in beef cattle is essential to providing effective care for farmers and their herds. Helping farmers understand how pathogens affect each breed is also essential.
