Members of the Food Animal faculty are board certified in several specialty areas including Theriogenology, Large Animal Internal Medicine and Veterinary Epidemiology. We provide primary and referral care for all food and fiber animal species (beef cattle, dairy cattle, goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas, and pigs).
Food animal services consist of a food animal hospital, a full-functioning dairy, and a theriogenology (Reproductive Medicine) facility.
The service provides care through scheduled appoints during normal business hours in addition to 24-hour emergency and intensive care.
We encourage clients to consult with their regular veterinarian for possible referral and we also accept appointments directly made with out hospital.
To schedule an appointment during normal business hours, or for emergency services, please call 334-844-4490. The Food Animal Service is fully staffed during normal business hours and a doctor is always on call for emergency services during holidays and outside normal business hours.
The full-service hospital is equipped for the routine diagnostic and therapeutic treatment of farm animals. The college maintains a variety of stalls and facilities suitable for beef and dairy cattle, small ruminants, camelids, and swine.
We have a full-service surgical suite with the support of a board-certified anesthesiologist. We have ready access to other veterinary specialty services including radiology, dermatology ophthalmology, clinical pathology, microbiology, neurology and pathology.
