COW
SCANNING

FRS Cow Scanning is a popular service at this time of year. At only €3 per cow it is a low cost and extremely informative service. Cows can be scanned from 30 days post service and it is far easier to detect pregnancy the earlier a pregnant animal is scanned.

COW SCANNING

At FRS Cahir we can also detect problems which may prevent an animal from going in calf.

Our scanning technician is available all year round and a booking to have your animals scanned can be done by contacting our offices on 052 7441598.

HOOFCARE

Lameness in the dairy herd can amount to considerable economic costs in a lactation year. In the average Irish dairy herd 20 out of every 100 cows are affected by lameness each year. On average an affected cow will have 1.4 cases of lameness each year.

HOOFCARE

Between direct and indirect costs associated with lameness in a cow the total cost can amount to €300. FRS Cahir stocks a wide range of hoof treatments and repair kits that can assist in the treating of lame cows.
To contact any one of our operators to call out and treat the cow on farm contact our offices at 052 7441598.

FREEZE
BRANDING

FRS Freeze Branding is another popular service and is usually carried out between the months of September and April. The branding of animals and in particular, dairy stock, is highly beneficial from the point of view of identity in the milking parlour or out in the field.

FREEZE BRANDING

Animals can be branded at any stage in life but it is recommended to brand an animal at around 12 months of age. Branding at this age will result in a larger brand when the animal matures to adult as the brand will grow with the growing animal.
Contact the office on 052-7441598 to book in for this service.
