Health

At De Heus, we know how much you care for your animals. They're not just livestock; they're your partners in building a successful farm and a better future for your family and community. We believe that healthy animals are the foundation of a thriving farm. When your animals are strong and disease-free, they grow faster, produce more, and live longer. This means more milk, eggs, or meat, and ultimately, higher profits for you and a more sustainable farm for everyone.


Healthy Animals, Happy Farmers!

  • 1 Prevention is better than cure

    Regular visits from your vet, vaccinations, and keeping their living spaces clean can prevent many diseases. It's always wiser to prevent a problem than to try and fix it later.
  • 3 Good food, good home

    Like us, animals need nutritious food and a clean, comfortable place to live to stay healthy. Make sure they have the right feed, fresh water, and a comfortable living space.

  • 2 Keep a watchful eye

    Even when we do our best, animals can sometimes show signs of being unwell. Check on them regularly, do they look different? Are they eating? The sooner you notice a problem, the better.
  • 4 A calm environment

    Animals can get stressed! Try to keep their environment calm and peaceful. This will help them stay healthy and productive.

“Animal health is the fundament for a good farm production. With healthy animals a farmer has higher production, improved feed conversion, less mortality and less impact on the planet. Animal health powers profit.”

When diseases happen, what next?

It's important to be aware of the common diseases that affect animals in your area. This way, you can quickly recognize the signs and take action. Remember, knowledge is power!

Don't delay, If you think your animals might be sick, don't wait! Talk to your vet right away for advice and treatment.

Stop it from spreading

To protect your other animals, keep sick ones separate and ensure your farm is clean and protected. This means being careful about who visits your farm, cleaning your tools, and always practicing good hygiene. Happy animals, strong animals!

The Power of Vaccines

Prevention is better than cure. Just like we take care of ourselves to avoid getting sick, we need to protect our animals. Regular visits from your vet, vaccinations, and keeping their living spaces clean can prevent many diseases. It's always wiser to prevent a problem than to try and fix it later.

Vaccinations are like a shield, protecting your animals from harmful diseases. They help your animals build strong defenses against common illnesses, keeping them healthy and productive. Remember to follow your vet's recommended vaccination schedule for the best protection.
