Southwest Livestock Veterinary Service provides routine & 24hr emergency care for livestock producers of the Junee, Wagga and surrounding districts.
As a member of the Australian Cattle Veterinarians, Dr. Peter Armstrong (BVSc BVetBio) is an accredited Cattle Pregnancy Tester (incl tail tags), accredited Bull Breeding Soundness Examiner, provides Ovine Brucellosis Accreditation to sheep breeders and is Johne's Disease (MAP Sheep and Cattle) accredited.
The Service has a strong focus on livestock reproductive management and disease management/prevention. In particular cattle pregnancy testing, bull breeding soundness examinations (pre joining), artificial insemination in cattle and overall herd/flock health consultancy.
The cattle pregnancy testing service prides itself on accuracy and efficiency. The latest up to date ultrasound technology is used. Southwest Livestock Veterinary Service realises the limitations in accuracy using ultrasound at certain stages of the pregnancy, therefore skilled manual palpation ensures the correct diagnosis is made. Mistakes in cattle pregnancy testing can prove very costly for producers!
Other services include emergency large animal procedures.
