What's with the insults. Did your local vet supply you with it. Will you leave it in your medicine cabinet for your bord bia inspection ? Will he able to read the label
First of all you said* why would any post up a picture of a product that’s not licenced here- CRAZY STUFF
I then posted a copy of its Irish licence
then you said - so you can import medicines to use in your own herd
and yes I keep it in my medicines cabinet and presented it at the board Bia audit
this product has been available in Ireland since April 2017
I had a salmonella case 10yrs ago, I was told to vaccinate but I never did. Never had a case since. Ibr once a year, blackleg, worm in May and fluke in December. That's it
Vet importing medicines from Spain where it’s substantially cheaper?
I could make a tidy sum importing medicines and agri chems from Ireland, Spain etc but there’s strict EU legislation that requires all labels to be in the language of the country at point of use and all contraindications etc etc.
Eg. Roundup is 50% cheaper in Ireland than here, but I’d get jail without having the correct labeling, certification and licensing. The EU is top heavy in regulation even in a supposed ‘free’ market.
Eprinex is another example…5L is circa €800 here.
Your product was clearly not for the Irish market with that label and in my opinion using it is crazy knowing the risks involved.
Your a complete numty
comments like that are ignorant and disrespectful to the medicine and veterinary association and it shows you clearly lack knowledge on such matters
if you read the label online you will see that it’s imported by
intervet Ireland
it’s people like you that bring the farming community down
Your childish insults add nothing to the conversation, It just makes you look foolish.
I agree.
What milk powder are you feeding? Wondering was there a recommended one for calves that young. Trying to do something similar here, the chief goes mad is transition milk is dumped!!
That's laughable about bringing down the farming community and more insulting too.
Do intervet Ireland import vaccine packaged for other markets ?
If the department are in any doubt about where a product came from your milk or animals won't be leaving your farm until they find out.
Some people are so superior they're above the law.
The Agritech powder does have some microbes in it. Not enough but a help.
Tony and Stan relax the TWO of ye the product is legal in spite of the writing of the box there's Irish instructions. I've been through it with my vet and a bord bia inspector last year. .......no need for the insults . Neither poster is in anyway stupid 🙄
Vis I think what ginger is doing is importing/buying microbes separately and including them in the milk powder ....which seems to be the important bit of the process .......that's what I gather anyway... as discussed here already there's ready made products available in drench form 👍👍👍
Why are you going on and on about something you haven’t a clue about- in the last five posts I have shown you where the product came from - it’s Irish licence - it’s importer and that it’s been available on the Irish market since 2017
ive added this just incase you weren’t able to find the hpra document
by the way how am I above the law- everything I post or say on here I back up with real data - not fictional
Apologies needed for myself and the greater farming community please
Here’s a few of the heifers I bought
The very best of luck with them @Siamsa Sessions .
Would we arrive at a 900kg cow if we put a Montbeliarde bull on them? 😂
Busy laying blocks all day!
Precast panels?.i m considering using them for a collecting yard. Lifted in a loadable?
Surely be the ton..🙃
I lifted them with the teleporter- 1.36 ton each I think
I've seen people say that if derogation goes to 170 that there'd be much more housed systems introduced and more intensification. How does housing the herd year round become a better option at 170? Do you not need the same landbase?
I think it widens the area for land by switching to a tillage type operation and less grass in the system. Also with banding 10000 litre cow is the same as a 6500 litre cow
no turning back now.
It's years since we'd a cow down, we only ever had a few, we haven't had calving paralysis in 30 years, touch wood. I wouldn't believe in lifting them at all, they'll get up when they're healed even if it takes a few weeks. OT and guilt therapy for the farmer is the main benefit.
One for the vets really though, they're the ones who see all the basket cases.
I think the main lifting is to get them out of wherever they went down
saw a trailer in france where they put the cow in and then put down both side so it was waterproof. they then pumped warm water in it and the cow stood straight as the water took the weight off her.
Handiest thing I used for that was an old mayo slat mat. Just rolled a cow onto it and had a long rope to pull the mat out.
supposed to have a competent project supervisor involved in building a shed now. We were chatting here a few days ago about health and safety.
I think no matter what you do in farming nowadays, your fuuucked
