Food animal clients include cattle, sheep and swine and all are treated on-site in the Large Animal Clinic. Most frequently, clients bring their livestock to the theriogenology specialists for bull breeding soundness exams, treatment of bull breeding injuries, or for cattle pregnancy determination. Some tests are conducted on an out-patient basis, while other procedures require a clinic stay of a few days or an entire cycle. Ultrasound capabilities are readily available, as is general anesthesia for use as needed. Treatment rooms and surgical suites are equipped to accommodate large animals.
