The Clinic for Ruminants and Swine with its six departments addresses animal health issues in cattle, small ruminants, and pigs. The research done at the Clinic focuses mainly on aspects of animal welfare and the improvement of animal health in the livestock sector.
Animal patients from surrounding farms suffering from surgical and internal diseases can be treated at the Animal Hospital in the Clinic for Ruminants and Swine. Outpatient care is available for the farms in the region. The Diagnostic Service deals with problems in livestock animals and can be consulted by independently working veterinarians. The Swine Clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic available to commercial and private owners of swine.
The Animal Reproduction Clinic consists of three divisions: small animals, horses, cattle and small ruminants. The small animals group is specialized in the breeding of dogs, cats, and rabbits. Within this division specific tests and treatments are done for male and female animals. Veterinary obstetrics is also available. The division provides consulting services and training for veterinarians and breeders and regularly conducts clinical trials on practical issues concerning dogs, cats, and rabbits.
The cattle and small ruminants group advises cattle-holding farms with problems in the field of animal health, fertility, and fertility management. A particular focus is on udder health, which plays a prominent role in the production of milk. The team advises veterinarians and farmers, focusing on the causes of problems at farms.
Besides its activities in teaching and research, the Small Animal Clinic is actively involved in patient care: about 20,000 dogs, cats, and exotic animals are treated there every year. The Small Animal Clinic has 16 divisions including surgery, cardiology, dermatology, and dentistry. The Animal Hospital has a station for dogs and cats, an intensive care station, and a separate station for animals from shelters. The inpatients are cared for around the clock.
