Biosecurity is often associated to disinfection points. However, itβs a management system to reduce the cause and threat of disease being introduced into and spread throughout your herd. Embryo transfer is a perfect start to reduce the threat of disease through reducing the number of potential bought in replacements. Bought in replacements can be carriers of diseases such as:
BVD β Bovine Viral Diarrhoea
Campylobacter
Coccidiosis
Johnes
Lepto β Leptospira
IBR β Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheaitis
Salmonellosis
TB
Digitial Dermatitis
Diseases as above are very easily transferred but can be costly to control and eradicate. Take a look at your herd and count the cost! Call today for a consultation.
