Welcome to DocTalk! Today, we're at Ford Farms in Cairo, Nebraska, joined by Dr. Kip Lukasiewicz, owner of Sandhills Consulting and Production Animal Consultation. Dr. Kip, a seasoned veterinarian based in Grand Island, shares insights on cattle processing and facility setup.
At Ford Farms, with about 2,400 head, Byron, Anne, and John Ford have mastered the art of efficient operation. Dr. Kip emphasizes the importance of organization and structure in processing cattle. Setting up protocols beforehand ensures smooth operations and minimizes stress for both cattle and handlers.
Inspecting facilities is crucial for safety and efficiency. Dr. Kip highlights the significance of checking for leaks, maintaining equipment, and ensuring no hazards are present. Attention to detail in chute maintenance and alley cleanliness prevents injuries and ensures optimal performance.
As we prepare for processing, Dr. Kip demonstrates a meticulous setup of equipment and products. From changing needles every 10 head to proper vaccine mixing, attention to hygiene and protocol ensures the health and well-being of the herd.
Cleaning syringes at the end of the day is a vital step in maintaining hygiene standards. Dr. Kip demonstrates the thorough process of disassembly, cleaning, and sterilization, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness to prevent contamination.
