We’ve picked high quality & practical feeding products, from salt licks to minerals and calf milk replacer. Both silage and slurry quality can be improved by inoculation with specific strains of bacteria.

Frequently asked questions

After calving, cows face a critical transition period where health, energy balance and udder condition matter most. Our "Fresh Cow Care" range addresses this with calcium & vitamin boluses, energy drinks, udder hygiene solutions and milk-fever prevention kits. The aim is to support a quick, strong start to lactation, reduce metabolic issues and ensure udder condition remains optimal. At G Shepherd Animal Health we only offer products we'd trust on our own farms — backed by real-world experience in dairy practice. By using these solutions proactively you protect animal welfare, improve yield and reduce costly interventions later on. Good management now pays dividends throughout the lactation.

Nutrition isn't just about feeding more-it's about feeding smarter. For cows and youngstock, a properly functioning rumen and correct mineral balance are essential. The "Nutrition – Energy Balance is the Key!" section includes supplements, rumen health aids (like binders, probiotics), and targeted minerals to support digestion and productivity. Poor rumen function or imbalanced nutrition can lead to lost yield, reproductive problems or health setbacks. G Shepherd Animal Health provides feeding solutions that integrate easily into your herd management plan, helping ensure that your cattle convert feed efficiently, stay healthy and perform at their best. A little investment here saves large costs downstream.

Fertility matters every day-not just when you're scanning cows. The "Breeding" category covers heat detection aids, mineral and trace-element supplements, fertility monitoring tools and consultancy options. Achieving a good calving interval and conception rate means that you've got the cows in condition, the management system working and the products aligned with best practice. According to G Shepherd Animal Health, this is a comprehensive package - not one single product will fix everything. Combining strategic nutrition, clear management routines and the right tools makes the difference. If you have fertility challenges, investing in the right support now has a significant payoff in herd efficiency and profitability.

Udder health affects milk quality, yield, animal welfare and farm profitability. G Shepherd Animal Health's "Udder Health & Dairy Hygiene" section features products such as teat-sprays, parlour hygiene solutions and udder condition aids. Clean, dry cubicles, good milking routine and preventative hygiene tools reduce mastitis risk and ensure your milk stays high quality. Rather than responding to problems, the goal is to prevent them. Regular use of the right hygiene protocols and products builds herd resilience over time. Good udder health not only protects the cattle, but also supports strong financial returns in your dairy business.

Healthy feet = healthy, productive cows. Problems with hoof condition or lameness influence mobility, feeding behaviour and fertility. The "Foot Health – We Have The Solutions" section includes hoof-care sprays, foot baths, block removal tools, and preventative treatments. G Shepherd Animal Health emphasises that regular inspection and timely intervention pays dividends — catch issues early, reduce severity and avoid long-term losses. A routine foot-health plan supports animal welfare, allows cows to access feed and water properly, and reduces vet costs. Foot health is a core part of an integrated herd-health strategy-not an afterthought.
