Vet Times Extra: NSAID use in young calves, with Ginny Sherwin and Kath Aplin
“There has been quita a lot of research into the effects of non-steroidals in recent years… so, as vets and farmers have become more aware of the impact of non-steroidals, I think that’s helped to drive more use as well.”
Kath Aplin and Ginny Sherwin spoke to Paul Imrie.
In this sponsored Vet Times Extra podcast, Ginny Sherwin and Kath Aplin join us to discuss NSAID use and pain relief in calves.
For more than 20 years Metacam has been at the forefront of cattle well-being. The proven and trusted anti-inflammatory pain relief provided by Metacam supports farmers and veterinarians in their efforts to maintain well-being across many indications.
