From calving and feeding to animal care, get the facts on raising cattle in Illinois.
Animal Care
Animal health and well-being are top priorities for livestock farmers across Illinois. They work hard to use the most recent science-based advancements that keep cattle healthy and our beef supply safe. These advancements mean cattle can be raised much more efficiently than in the past. Farmers and their employees work closely with veterinarians to monitor the health and well-being of the animals. Regular checkups are done on the herd to prevent illness. If any of the animals are ill, they are evaluated before deciding the next step to take care of the animal. Farmers utilize important tools like vaccines along with best management practices to prevent, control, and treat disease. By focusing on good animal care, proper nutrition, and disease prevention, livestock farmers and their veterinarians reduce antibiotic use – using only when necessary for the life of the animal – and save money in the process.
