Farm Services/Large Animals
- Planning Health and Preventing Problems on a North Yorks Pig Unit 03 November 2008Yorkshireman Steven Blaken started his herd when he left school nearly 40 years ago
with only five gilts that he took to be served by a neighbour’s boar. His business today is
very different. He runs a 450 sow herd and 4,000 progeny from suckling piglets to
weaners and finished bacon pigs at Monkton Mains Farm near Ripon, north Yorkshire.
Herd health planning is a vital ingredient in the success of his unit.
Working as a team with specialist pig vet, Nigel Woolfenden, of Bishopton Veterinary
Group, Ripon, decisions are taken at the three-monthly routine meetings that will
influence health and continue to improve the unit’s efficiency and profitability through the
sale of finished pigs.
Small/Domestic Animals
- New Specialist Feline Unit 01 December 2008Bishopton Veterinary Group is proud to be able to provide clients with a new facility for the treatment of feline hyperthyroidism using radioactive iodine. Radioactive iodine is in most cases the treatment of choice, and especially suitable for patients intolerant of Felimazole (whether as adverse effects, or difficulty of
medicating), cases where anaesthetic risk is unacceptable, and cases where surgery is inappropriate (eg intra-thoracic thyroid tissue).
