Dairy Cattle

Identifying, Preventing, and Managing Dairy Cattle Diseases  

MSD Animal Health strives to improve the health and welfare of dairy cattle by working with key Veterinary Professionals and Animal Health Advisors to prevent disease, control outbreaks, and treat infected animals.  

A Comprehensive Approach to Disease Management

Dairy cows  face higher risks of metabolic diseases due to the intense physiological demands of lactation. Mastitis is a major concern in dairy herds. Frequent handling and close confinement can increase the risk of certain infectious diseases.

We offer a wide range of market-leading vaccines, antibiotics, hormones, and other health management products and services for the dairy cattle industry. This improves our farming customers’ productivity, efficiency, and sustainability.

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 dairy cattle industry worldwide.
