Food Animal Hospital

FoodAnimal1The Veterinary Health Center Food Animal Hospital is staffed by veterinarians committed to the health and welfare of food and fiber animals and the growth and development of Missouri’s agricultural sector. The majority of our caseload consists of traditional agricultural animals, including beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, goats and swine. The hospital also provides services to camelids, miniature swine and other nontraditional livestock.

Our clinicians, veterinary students and support staff are committed to providing the best possible care for your animals. We offer a wide variety of services from routine care to state-of-the-art medical and surgical procedures. The Food Animal Hospital provides both in-hospital and field service care.

Located in Clydesdale Hall, the hospital offers 24-hour outpatient and inpatient animal care. It has a full-service handling facility including a hydraulic chute and tilt table. We have a variety of stalls suitable to house cattle, camelids, small ruminants and swine.

In addition to in-hospital care, the Food Animal Hospital’s field service unit provides on-farm care including routine preventive as well as sick animal care. In addition, we offer herd-level consultative services to farmers and veterinarians regarding disease prevention, improved productivity and disease outbreak investigation.

The hospital and field service units are fully integrated to offer producers the best of both worlds. Cases presented to the hospital that require on-farm follow-up or additional herd investigation can be transferred to our field service clinicians for additional care. Similarly, cases seen in the field that require more advanced care can be transferred to the hospital.

Regular office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Emergency treatment is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
