Medications

Work with your herd veterinarian to develop disease treatment and prevention protocols that include judicious use of medications. Administring only when appropriate and careful storage and handling are essential to getting the most out of medications.

Antibiotics
Careful use of antibiotics can keep the valuable resource available and effective for the future.

Vaccines
Vaccines don’t just protect against calf diseases, they are an investment
in your herd’s future health.

Prudent livestock medicine use on-farm important for animal health and food safety
Safe and responsible use of livestock medicines is a cornerstone of on-farm food safety. It helps keep calves healthy, farmers and farm workers safe and perhaps most importantly, builds and maintains consumer confidence in Ontario-produced veal and dairy products.
