Pain Relief for Cattle: Knowledge That Makes a Difference

FutureBeef has become a trusted resource for the beef industry, offering free, accessible, and practical information to producers and industry professionals. Dr Tim McClymont, a veterinarian at the Roma Veterinary Clinic, shares how this platform is making a tangible impact by supporting cattle producers and veterinary practitioners alike.

A key resource Dr McClymont regularly uses is the “Pain relief medication for beef cattle” page. Whether advising clients crush-side or mentoring new veterinarians, he finds it to be a reliable and user-friendly source of entry-level information. “The page offers concise yet comprehensive details on pain relief, answering the common questions producers have without overwhelming them,” he explains. “It’s great because it’s accessible to everyone, free of charge, and available anytime.”

Dr McClymont also values FutureBeef for helping industry professionals stay informed. “It’s fantastic for keeping up with broader developments in the beef sector—you just need to make time to read the wealth of information available,” he says. He suggests keeping up-to-date by signing up to the monthly eBulletin at www.futurebeef.com.au.

The Roma Veterinary Clinic, where Dr McClymont works, operates with a team of eight veterinarians and services a vast area from Miles to Blackall, Rolleston, and St George. Each year, the team pregnancy tests approximately 200,000 to 250,000 cows and conducts nearly 10,000 bull semen tests. For a practice managing operations on such a large scale, having access to accurate and relevant resources like those offered by FutureBeef is invaluable.
